Default Integra gas smell coming from vents!! Help!!

Ok, I was parked at the store today and while I was in park I smelled a gas like smell coming from my vents. Also, my car was low on fuel. Has anyone ever experienced this before in their integra? What might this be? Fuel line? Maybe need a tune up? Injector seal? Your inputs and thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

i would check your fuel injectors maybe a bad seal causing it to leask or mabye even you fuel filter has a broken seal. Ither one would cause fuel smell thru your vents.

was it a cold night, also check for external leaks around the fuel filter. my car was left overnight in the valley and my fuel filter popped because the fuel expanded.

if you dont see anything when its off, try looking while its runnin. if the injector seals, you will see a leak when its running.

check with fuel pressure.

While you gather your replies, I noticed that a few times for me.

Sometimes it's coming from car in front of you, or some other parked car with dripping gas that is evaporating. And when you drove by, it just Scopes it up into your vents.

Do you have a closed car garage? My point is to see how consistent this issue is, first. And also try with the vent on REC.
