Default Gas Smell in 01 ES300

All,

I smell gas fumes intermittently in my car; the fumes are sometimes overwhelming. I have had it checked out by Lexus but at the time, the smell was not present.

The recommendation is to replace the fuel pressure damper and the fuel injector seals.

Did anyone have this problem and did this solve it? I want to know before I invest money fixing this issue.

Thanks

I had the same issue with my 2000 ES. Replaced the fuel injector seals. Cost about $300 at the dealer in 2008.
