Default is this smell ok?

I have a zex wet kit and I spray a 100 wet shot every now and again. It has been tuned and I only run 93 octane so I know it is safe. I ran out second and third gear tonight in spray just because I haven't sprayed in at least a few months. While spraying and then thereafter I smelled a heavy scent of gasoline. Now I know it is a wet kit so I should smell some gas but this was a little heavy. I do have a vert and the top was down with a heat extractor hood so the smell could have been stronger because of that, but I am not sure. I did check and there were no leakes under the hood. Is it ok to smell a gasoline smell after spraying a wet kit? Does it mean I am running way to rich or am I just smelling the "wet" part of the wet kit?

well be happy you are running more rich than lean....its probably just the extra fuel that wasn't burnt up when spraying with the wet kit, but I would def take it and get it dyno tuned just to be on the safe side or check your air/fuel...
