i have all my fuel hoses disconnected to change out the injectors.. long story short, had to put my power window up for incoming rain so I hooked the battery back up and switched key to On position and fuel came pouring from one of the hoses right out and onto a towel i had laying over the lower intake that the plenum sits on.. this was yesterday and still smells like fuel today.. will it dry up and not be a problem? or how screwed am I

should be fine, you just engaged the fuel pump when you turned the key on. You should have removed the fuel pump relay to make sure that didn't happen.

okay.. just thinking about it again, the fuel should all get combusted anyways.. and yeah I removed the relay to relieve fuel pressure but put it back in.. i'll know to leave it out until the end next time
