I smell gasoline on driver's side while driving

When I'm driving I smell gasoline on the driver's side, also when I shut off the car I smell it too, sorta coming from the door vents. Anyone know what the problem could be? My engine has been sounding changing sounds recently, from normal sounding (quiet) to rumbly, like an old engine. about 46,000 original engine, no mods. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Ed

Pull your UIM and check your fuel lines and FPD immediately! Many an FD with similar symptoms has burned to the ground.
