why does my car smell like gas.

[SPJosh]

there is not anything leaking below it. i can maybe see a little dampness around 1 injector, but i dont think thats enough for the amount of smell im getting. it a 94 3.4l with 76xxx miles. a mechanic told me there notorious for leaky injectors, but i want another opinion. please help, any info or anything would be great thanks.

there is no way i'd drive that thing with a leaky injector. could cause a fire. get that fixed it isn't very hard to do.

are you getting the smell from outside or inside of the car?

Just look at it man. This isn't something to not worry about

These are all very true statements. All the fuel needs is a bit of heat to turn it into a fog, then watch out! Optimum burn is at 14.7 parts of air to 1 part of fuel, which is like an area of a large house compared to an area of a small super ball to get the blast.

just walk around the car with a lighter lit, get it up close to everything and wait for an explosion, it will more than likely tell you where the leak is :D

fuel smell coming from the engine bay or towards the rear of the car? if its the rear, check your gas cap, fuel filter and check the charcoal canister and purge valve if equipped. they are located behind a panel in the left rear wheel well. if in the engine bay check your injectors, fuel lines (where they connect to the rail aswell) fuel pressure regulator and such

Also if your cat is completely busted, or you're miss firing, or if you're cat-less that would explain fuel smell coming from the rear too. Is the smell out of ur tail pipes?

My 94 had a bad gas cap a couple of years ago. Got a new one and fixed the problem. Same thing as yours is doing. They are cheap and you probably need a new one anyway.
