    when I start my 512 TR I can smell Fuel..
    I just had it serviced and replace it with recommended Direct Fit After market o2 sensors.
    * New wires
    * All of the warnings lights
    * The smog guy says the car is burning to much FUEL
    Would it be the fuel pressure regulators ? If so, where is good place for Aftermarket fuel pressure regulators.

    Not sure of the cause, but not a good thing. Too much fuel will wash the cylinders and contaminate the oil very quickly. And if you have cats, it will cause havoc on them as well.

    I check the Fuel Pressure Regulator and they don't seem to be leaking any fuel.
    * I notice on the driver side smells more like fuel than the left.
    * The driver side exhaust pipes seems to release more water( Gas) dunno etc.. than the left.

    The O2 sensor, are after market but recommended from the Ferrari community. My Smog report say's I am using to much FUEL..

    Should change to the Bosh O2 senors or is it another issue ?
