I think that if it was a cracked manifold i would smell it all the time and it would probably smell more like burnt fuel. This is deff. raw fuel that i am smelling. It was there again after sitting about 4 hours.

Check your evap canister carfully that's where the fumes are supposed to go. Maybe a hose is cracked or the thing is cracked itself for some reason.

I had a fuel line leaking on my manifold on my CJ. Smelled like gas after sitting a while. Run your fingers along some fuel lines and look for wetness. Get a step stool and stick your head in there. That is how I found mine. Just don't use a match for a light source and put out that cigarett before you stick your head in there.
