When I give my car more Throttle than usual (just because I love the way it pulls ) I can smell gas right after for a short period of time. I presume that I must run rich at WOT (which I prefer than running lean). So if his car runs rich, it could smell in the car, no?

Besides, my first car which was a 1986 camaro used to always smell gas in the car. I found out that one O-ring from the manifold was loose and kept getting loose so I was tighting the screws once in a while. I ran a full summer with that car that way, that must have been bad for my brain for sure! lol

I only smell it with air blowing... and then that pos only works on high lol. but i have the blower resistor, i just havent switched it.

And honestly, it may smell like gas only like 3 times a week. I make it to work and by the time i leave for lunch i dont have any issues with it.

(i'm not sure where the motor is, and where the fuel lines are)

I found the problem... it was the fuel pressure regulator... got teh part at autozone for $65 and installed for free... the guys at the shop felt bad bc they didnt catch it so no charge for labor

Most likely fuel was coming out of the vacuum port on the regulator.
