Everytime I get in or out of the truck while running, hot or cold I smell fuel, I can't tell where its coming from and have let it run and set in the shop on a clean floor with no leaks... Could I be running rich? Superchips 91 tune. Or maybe a bad exhaust leak? Maybe I'm smelling it bc of the cat delete? I've heard that will cause fuel smell?

Any advice would be nice if you need info on setup just ask.

Because of cat delete, I have some leaks in my exhaust setup so that does t help, but I don't have cats as well

Likely the cat delete. It will smell real rich without the cats. Burning the excess hydrocarbons is kind of what they are for.
