Car started running strange today when I got to may destination and turned off the engine smoke started coming out from under bonnet a quick check showed a gas leak coming from vent hole down to my header, glad it was wrapped.
I am thinking it's from a faulty float or oring.
Anyone ever have this problem before

I had a problem like that, after all was checked and rechecked , turned out to be too high fuel pressure, added a regulator never had the problem again.
