When starting first time in the morning the exhaust smells like gas. After the first start all other starts are ok until it sets for a while. Any suggestions

 

Hows your gas mileage? Notice any changes lately?

Might be a leaky injector.

What engine?

 

Has it always done it or just start?

 

Sorry it is a 2002 dodge dakota 4.7 v8 club cab automatic 4X4. I bought this from the original owner and he said that it has done this from the day he got it. It has just gotten worse. Like I said it just does it first start up in the morning or after it has sat for a while. If you drive it say for 20 min and stop and come back 30 min later and start it there is no smell. I also need to know if the fuel filter and fuel regulator are in the fuel pump or are they separate. Can not find anything definite on this.
