Talking 90 foxboy weird gas smell

When i Drive my car it lets off this strong gas smell and it sticks around for about 20 min. after the car has been turned off. I have just started having this problem and i haven't seen any leaks under her, so i'm lost. Does any one have any idea's what is getting me high while i drive?

Fuel leak on/at the engine will cause a vapor smell while leaving almost no evidence for an untrained eye, because it burns off. Something to check.

Sure, if you wanna spend $300 on a guess. Have it diagnosed, or purchase a vapor sniffer.
