I had the same problem last year with my rx8, I smelt gas inside the cabin, and every time I parked in the garage it would smell strongly of gas. I tried injector cleaner and everything, but nothing helped. About 4 months after i started to notice the smell, one of my fuel injectors blew, I believe the small was coming from the crack in it, I would suggest you get you injectors checked, After the blow, I got it fixed, they rebuilt the injector for about $300 cad. and it runs great now,
Check for loose clamps on the fuel lines leading out of the fuel tank. Don't be afraid to stick your hands where you can't see. You might be able to find a leak. Or your fuel tank is releasing pressure from the gas cap.
Check to see if you are getting fuel to the engine.If not replace the pump relay.Then change the pump if still not working.Check for spark at the wires if you have no spark then change the crank sansor.If still no spark then change the coil pack.
Hold the gas pedal to the floor and try starting the rx8 has anti flood technology that gives less fuel when gas pedal is to the floor I do it all the time hope this helps
If the Gas Cap is bad it will do this. If you have a Small hole in the Fuel Filler Neck that goes between the Tank and the Body, You will get this Problem Also.
It usually is evident. It may sound odd, but if you take out the oil dipstick and smell it, you should be able to smell gas if it's in there. I would still recommend changing the oil just to be safe. Fuel in the oil could ruin the apex seal on the rotors and repairing that will cost alot more than an oil change. Also make sure that whoever changes it uses 5W-20 Non-synthetic oil. Synthetic oil will break down parts in the engine. I hope I could help.
