I have had a real heavy fuel smell since I put in a new fuel filter (small fram plastic one) and some redline fuel additive. The smell is not quite a pure fuel smell so I am thinking that the additive has caused this but I'm unsure, also there seems to be a lot more pressure in the tank than usual. Any help is appreciated.

If you are using braided lines, I have read tons of threads about fuel smell after installing them. Something about fuel compounds being small enough to get through the rubber core used to manufacture the lines.

Maybe the additive is making it's way through them?

Thanks. Its the same rubber lines that I used before the change.
