Problem- Smelling Gas in Cabin (Help)

Hi,

I changed my spark plugs 2 days ago, and now, when i drive it, it smells like gas in the cabin?

Do you guys know what's happening to my car and what should I do about it?

Thank you

Would that be because my spark plugs is still too loose? i have to tighten the plugs more?

Just a thought, you could have put pressure on the fuel rail and loosened one of the injectors.

Not a good sign. Locate the source before driving. Do a visual with the air housing removed and motor off. The fuel system remains pressurized after the motor is turned off. Look for wet spots or smell/see vapors (unlikely, but possible). You can also feel for dampness around fittings/connectors if the motor is cool enough. Check feed and return paths.
