Car: 93 s13 hatch

Hey everyone I've had my hatch now for a year now and today was the first day I actually filled my an entire tank up with some 93 octane gas with gas being some what reasonable ( gotta love bday gas gift cards ) and right after I left the gas station I had to shut off the ac and drive with the windows down which is not cool in 90 degree south FL heat. I was wondering what would cause my car to smell like I dumpped 5 gals worth of fuel in my back seat

Check your tank,lift the mat if it's leaking u might have to remove the cover and see if there is a leak on the high or low pressure hose...

check the in/return line hoses in the engine bay. those tend to tear if you have a bad motor mount
check the clamps on gas line that runs to the filter.
check if you leaky injector which could cause raw gas smell

might have a bad fuel pump O ring if you didn't replace it when doing the fuel pump
