I think this is the same question I already answered for someone but just in case.
The most common cause for this condition is a leaking purge valve located under the hood. This purge valve goes bad all of the time causing a few different conditions. It could go bad causing a hard start after filling up with fuel or it could be leaking fuel vapors causing this smell inside the vehicle you are describing.
Also, be sure to check the fuel-rail dampener, around the fuel pressure line, fuel injectors and o rings VERY carefully for any fuel leaking as this can cause a gas smell inside the vehicle.
Have a great weekend!
No you have a bigger problem. If the engine light is on have one problem if not have another problem. Light on get scanned at autozone or similar. No light I believe you might have hole in fuel line.

hi
im dave
Is there a leak in one of the fuel lines? Check the length of the fuel lines from the pump (you may need an extendable mirror to see the top of gas tank) right up to the point where it enters the fuel rail on the engine. Take special note of the junctions and try to do it with the car running and at a slight idle so fuel is pumping. Check next for a smell of too much gasoline along the fuel rail as one of the injectors may be improperly seated and or broken and leaking. Has the service engine check engine light come on at all or come on and gone out. If your o2 sensor(s) go you use more fuel. If they go there should be a code stored in your PCM (computer). You can pull any codes out of that car by finding the connector and jumping it. Also if your air element(filter) or any pipes are clogged in that system up to the throttle body you will use much more fuel.
Let me know how these tests go

8 to12 ks per ltr is it v6 and its an average and driver style dependant and thats when it was new.

when you look for a fuel leak, make sure the engine is running. the fuel lines will be pressurized and you are more likely to spot the leak. if you see fuel squirting, be careful since it under a lot of pressure. it might look like a single strand of a spider web. also, you should wear eye protection since gas in the eye would be a bad thing. needless to say, don't light a match or lighter for light to find the fuel leak. since gas is explosive, you probably should take it to a shop if you can't fix it. it could be dangerous if gas drips on a hot part. fuel vapors are explosive too.

I would definatly recheck the regulator to make certain you do not have any leaks.
But to be clear, you are smelling gas and not exhaust?
Also, is you cowl seal in good shape, not missing or damaged in any way?
Let me know.

transmission slipping dragging brakes.timing off worn timing belt .bad spark plugs + wires +coil.defected valves and worn cam shaft.use scanner to check oxygen sensor. run engine 5 minutes look at scanner . should read closed loop . if read open loop replace oxygen sensor.
I hope this helps and have a great weekend!
P0174 - Fuel Injection System Too Lean Bank 2
Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Excessive Fuel Consumption
Possible causes
- Intake air leaks
- Front Heated oxygen sensor may be faulty
- Injectors may be faulty
- Exhaust gas leaks
- Incorrect fuel pressure
- Lack of fuel
- Mass air flow sensor may be faulty
- Incorrect PCV hose connection
Possible solution
Dirty air filter of faulty air flow sensor are common causes of the problem.
Bottom line possible defective Mass airflow sensor and or O2 sensor in cylinder bank number two.
