I have a 94 5.0 stang, i am getting a really strong gasoline smell when i drive down the road with the a/c on. i probly get a mild smell when the windows are down but i dont notice it. I thought i might have and exhust leak but i had it looked at and was told No. i have looked in the engine bay for a gas leak and under the car, around the fuel pump. nothing. Any suggestions would help, i am stumped?? Thanks

Look for cracked EVAP hoses (namely the line leaving the charcoal cannister, goin to the purge solenoid and then to the intake). Also check the vac line on your FPR to make sure there is no fuel in it.
If ok, visually inspect the charcoal cannister (it's inside the passenger fender, right under the antenna base). The lines at this unit can rot badly.
Good luck.

Gas leaks can be hard to track down. My car had a strong raw gas smell when I popped the hood or when I parked it overnight in my garage. Turns out the FPR was leaking. Gas evaporates very quickly so a small leak will not be noticed except for the light colored stain it leaves. Check all the main things first, such as the FPR, the pressure and return line connections, and the injectors.
