Every morning when I start my car in my garage so that the engine can warm up a very very strong smell of fuel starts to come all the way inside my house. I dont know whats wrong with the car and my car sounds very heavy although it has a stock exhaust. Even after the car has warmed up and im driving around and if I get stuck in traffic or something and I put my car in neutral and rev my engine a little I can smell the fuel in my car ( that is when my windows are rolled down ).
Parking lots any place where my car is stationary I can smell fuel. I dont know if its my exhaust that is the problem.
ANYONE HELP!

Probable causes of an engine running rich are as follows:

1. Excessive fuel pressure can be cause by restricted fuel return line
2. Defective Oxygen Sensors.
3. Leaking injectors and fuel pressure regulator.
4. Coolant temperature sensor out of calibration.
5. Restricted air intake system.
