Default Fuel Smell in car

yeah i just noticed it this evening.... When im at a stop i can smell fuel inside my car... i know my fuel lines have been pretty bad for a bit but im just wondering if its my fuel lines or is it my fuel pump. Car has 270xxxkm on... may be time for the fuel pump to go... any way to check if its the fuel pump?

Things to check
-Fuel Filter and lines around it
-Fuel Filler Neck (Big One)
-Gas Tank (check for leaks underneath)


The cause of my fuel smell inside of the car was a exhaust leak so check that too. I know ur gonna say u just got that done, but don't rule it out.

i've had that smell in my car since i bought my car and only last week i replaced my tank the seam was split. it's either your tank or your lines. the lines are a dealer item only i believe i know they are for a 2nd gen
