Default non - turbo stinking of fuel whilst in use.

Hi all, i drive a 1.6 non turbo impreza, while driving it it smells of fuel, the harder you accelerate the more it seems to smell. I thought it was because of blowing exhaust but still smells. Anyone come accross this before?
Thanks

Sounds like the more you slosh the fuel about the more it leaks. Have a good look/sniff around the fuel tank and filler pipe. I'd expect leaks at the front to be constant due to constant fuel pressure from the pump.
