Do you guys that are running the triple pumps get a gas smell in the car? My car has a return system triple aeromotive 340l and I can smell gas. Seems worse the more I drive it. Can’t find and leaks anywhere. Is this normal with This much fuel moving

Doesn't have anything to do with having three pumps or moving more fuel. If you didn't get the PTFE lines, you can get a fuel smell.

Did you delete the evap system?

That is most likely the issue. From the picture and description, that hose does not appear to have a teflon liner. Main complaint with this hose is the smell.

Check out your vs. a PTFE fuel hose such as fragola or aeroquip.

No problem man. I don't know how bad the fuel smell can get with the non teflon hose. Hopefully someone else will chime in. If you have a manual reg. you could jumper the pumps to run with the engine off and crank it up to what you see at max boost. Maybe you do have a small leak.

Changing the lines out would suck unfortunately.
