Red face Fuel smell

this has to do with my fuel issue, the car runs for about 2 hours, whines and then dies out. it also only has this problem when its over 50 deg outside (i've driven 8 hours on a 40 deg day with no problems)

my big question is this overpowering smell of fuel coming from the front of the car when it acts up, if anyone could explain this i would appreciate it

that problem happend to me when i flooded my engine once, or check your fuel injectors they might be clogged and try to run a fuel injector cleaner through your system. Cars can act really wierd at different temps when your injectors are clogged as well as contribute to the fuel smell.
