Gas smell

Ok, so my RX-7 was running fine, until last night I filled it up, now when I'm driving all I can smell is gas in the inside of my car, it's really concerning me, any tips on what it could be, on what I could do to get rid of it?

check to make sure the gas cap is on tight. gas will flow out the fill neck when making right turns.

I had a similar problem, I had pin holes just like yetterben said above, AND my sending unit was leaking around the seal.
