Angry Leaking gas smell 87 RX-7

I've got a chronic smell of leaking gas. Can't find leaking fuel anywhere. Another guy told me its probably the lines to the injectors and I should replace these right away lest the engine catch on fire like his did. Does this sound familiar to anyone. Please let me know. Thanks.

STOP DRIVING YOUR CAR IMMEDIATELY! It is most likely your pulsation damper, this device has a screw which likes to back itself out and rupture a rubber lining. You'll need to check this (the fuel injectors are attached to it).
