Default smelling gas inside and especially outside my car...????

Okay I've searched and found out that this could be due to a couple different things...Two days ago, I filled up my tank. Yesterday I noticed a strong smell of gasoline inside my car and when I tried starting my car, it did not start after about 6 cranks. There was a strong smell of gas from outside the car also. I tried starting again and it started but with hesitation as if not enough fuel was going through....Today, I've noticed a strong smell of gas whenever I got in my car as if I spilled some inside...Anyone have any ideas??? Based on my research here, it could be the fuel injector O-rings, fuel line, spark plugs, or bad distributor...I don't smell anything coming from the engine though...what do you guys think???

Are the matel lines rusted out? If so you can take it to a shop and have them bend up new ones. We do it every so often on old american hulks, don't think I've ever seen that on a teg. If its in a soft (rubber) line you can just replace the hose with another one. Make sure whatever you use it is rated for fuel, much more importain with rubber lines
