Default fuel problems in 91 civic

I just started having fuel problems in my hatch about a month ago.
It's a 1991 with a 97 l s motor.
It never cranks over right away it takes about 10 minutes I have to constantly pump the gas for it to start.
And it never stays running I have to rev it for about another 10 minutes.
And the whole time that I'm doing this all you smell is strong gas fumes.
Can anyone please give me an idea of what it might be?

sounds to me like you're losing fuel pressure.
