GAS Smell, PLZ help [isnt gas bad to smell?]

Ok so whenever i take the car for a quick spin I get it to 4k ish and I smell LOTS of gas, but if its not reved above 1-3K its not that bad......going 50+ and going redline will make the cabin of the car smell instantly like gas, reving to 4k takes about 10 mins but at 7k the smell is soo bad your nose will hurt....

What should I look for thats leaking gas? I read bout a something damper, primary fuel rail, etc.. idk where to check but I'm suprised how much the gas smell enters the inside of the car

Your car WILL burn if you keep driving it.

Dont smoke. And yes driving it is a bad idea. If you back fire it could ignite the gas if the vapor is thick enough.

All of the above. DO NOT DRIVE IT. I caught my pulsation damper when I started to smell gas. It was totallt trashed and the smell was gone after I replaced it.

Keep an extinguisher close while revving it up. Preferably a CO2 type extinguisher.
