Gasoline Odor/smell

I tried searching on the forums but no luck

I have gotten the gasoline odor before but i was only for a bit when i started the car.

But now i smell gasoline trough out my whole trip when i drive the car... is this normal?? is it dangerous?? hope my car doesnt blow up when i light a match or a ligther...

I could handle the gasoline smell but man its getting annoying i get head aches

btw i have 1985 GSL --> stock besides aftermarket intake and k&n air filter.

can you determine if your getting exhaust from the back or gas from the engine bay? or i spose it could be any way around.

Try replacing your hatch seals.

try closin your vents. I get that smell in mine but I think its just engine bay smell comin through the vents. When I change it to defroster and air stop comin out main a/c vents, it still smells but instead the air blows upwards and not straight on me. It helps a little, just open your window or sunroof
