If I pull the vacuum line to it, I smell gas on the line itself, this means it'* bad? Also, what is the exact procedure for changing it, I don't seem to see how cause it looks integrated into the fuel rail.

I ordered a new one from Advance Auto Parts for $50, picking it up tomorrow. The fuel smell was strong enough to be smelled quite a few minutes after. Do I have to de-pressurize the fuel system first or let the car sit for a while or what? What does the ring look like and what do I do with it to remove it? After the ring is out, I assume I just pull the unit up and out?

Got it changed out, the only issue I had was getting the ring back into place after the new FPR, had to convince it to fit. Seems to be working good, and I see no leaks.
