You have a gasoline leak. Unless you want this car to catch fire and burn up, have this looked into by a professional. Do not park this vehicle in a garage until you get it fixed. Your house may burn down if the vehicle catches fire.

More than likely a leak in the engine compartment somewhere..Especially if you turn the heat on and can smell you can be sure its coming from the front. If its only when the car is running then its probably along the fuel rail somewhere. If you can smell it just as strong when the car is off then its a line and your car probably does not get good gas mileage. start there or take to a mechanic asap! gas is way to expensive now a days!!
