raw fuel smell

I have a smell of unburnt fuel. It’s getting so bad I can smell it doing ***mph on the freeway windows up and down. Also when I park in the garage it stinks up the whole garage. My mpg has diminished as well. I’m thinking either leak or seal?

check the quick disconnect fuel lines in the engine bay on the drv side by the strut and the other ends under the uim. they have burned cars to the ground in the past

are you running a cat? any recent work done on the car like engine of fuel pump replacement?

Copy that. Only possible correlation is I have the cat back on for a minute for the feds. Removing again soon. But it smelt before that just worse now. Also water pump but that would be weird. How do you recommend check the quick disconnect?
