I have a 2006 3500 4x4 qc and I smell fuel while the truck is running. I have checked the injector lines (blue clips) all are tight. I have checked lines from the tank forward and there is no obvious leak anywhere. I even had the dealer look at it when I had it serviced(not sure how much attention they gave it) There is no smell before starting, with the key on(not running) or a min( or so) after it's shut off- only when running!
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

same here....I thought it was possibly the v-band clamp holding the downpipe to the turbo leaking but not it. I think when it gets cold you are smelling more unburnt fuel due to the overfueling the engine does to compensate for the cold weather.

clean your concrete and let it idle for a while and keep checking for any drips.

I had a problem with a fuel filter o-ring that developed a very small crack and slowly dripped when the lift pump pressured up, but otherwise no smell when off. it would be worth checking. the wix replacements o-ring (o'Reileys) was much larger and sealed better. fixed my problem

hope you figure it out
