Default Smell Of GAS!

Here in Bama its got down in the low twentys. I have noticed the last few times when its been sitting in the garage overnight, that I have been smelling gas once I crank it up. It dissipates after about 1 minute or so. Does these SC's have a so called "cold start injector" or any ideas of what I can check? I dont want a burned up SC in the garage.

I do know that it did not do it until it got down below freezing temps.

I don't think you are alone.... I've noticed it on cold mornings a few times too and mine sits outside. It goes away fast so I'm not too concerned and my engine is in tune and everything is OK. Still, maybe someone has an idea as to why....

I did a major tune up a year ago along with a bunch of other things at once. Im wondering if a injector is starting to leak? I figured if it did, it would smell it all the time.
