1987 Chev Monte Carlo SS Smelling - Fuel System

Question: This is a #55 that was built for this car, Not a stock. Engine is running a holley 650 DP on it. It ran good last year. When I started it this year it smells so bad it almost knocks me out! I have not noticed any stalling and it has good power through out the range. It has a fuel cell, electric pump through a regulator running 6 ibs of fuel. Could that be to much? Any help will be great. Thanks

Technican: O.K., you say when you ran it last year it ran fine but now when you started this year it smells.I'm going to take this as you garage the car and only run it so often.If the smell you speak of is kind of like a varnish kerosene smell, your fuel is at question.If this is the case, you need to not only drain your fuel cell but flush it and have it throughly checked to see if the membraine is deteriorating.The membraine I speak of is much like a foam pad that not only helps eliminate "slosh" but tries to keep the fuel contained in a general area should the cell be damaged.They dont last forever.
