Default smells like gas

it smells like gas while i'm driving, really bad. but with the windows up, a/c, heater or fan on i don't smell it at all, as soon as i roll the windows down on the freeway or through town it is really strong. i know i have an exhaust leak not sure where, but is this a different leak it smells just like fuel?

Could very well be an exhaust leak causing the stink

Charcoal canister? hole in the fill tube maybe an actual small fuel leak. I would get underneath the car and trace the fuel lines to make sure you dont have rusted lines.

Exhaust leak could also be causing a false lean condition causing the computer to dump fuel.

Has anyone replaced the fuel pump by cutting out above the fuel tank (check under the carpet). I test drove a car last summer that smelled strong since this was never sealed back up.
