Hello everyone, When the engine on my 93 Cherokee is running at normal running temperature, I smel fuel coming from the engine, I was wondering if any of you had experienced the same problem and was able to fix it, it kinda bothers me the smell of such flammable liquid coming from a hot locacion such as the engine, can any one help?
Thank you.

You may have a leaking O-ring around an injector or a leaking fuel line.
You are right to be concerned. Fuel leaks under the hood can lead to engine fires etc.
I would suggest towing this car to a mechanic and having them pressurize the line and inspect it front to back for leaks.
