Fellow RV'ers,
I have an RV-7 with 36 hours on it and will soon be out of Phase 1 testing.  The test period has been going very well with a few minor issues such as a “heavy wing”.  Following Van’s procedures it now flies hands off.  One issue that has not been resolved is a very slight fuel odor shortly after liftoff, climbing through about 500 feet.  I also occasionally get a whiff of fuel when in a nose high attitude or with the addition of climb power.  I have the standard Van engine/prop combination, XIO-360-M1B, with a Precision Airrmotive  (Bendix) Model EX-5VA1 fuel injector, AKA Silver Hawk..
 
I have checked all the connections and have found no leaks.  The vent system allows air to flow out of the tanks with no blockage.  When the tanks are full, a small amount of fuel sometimes drips out of the right vent.  I suspect the issue is related to the fuel tank vent or fuel return system. 
  Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated
