The smell of gas inside my car

What does this mean. Its raw gas..smells just like the chevron 93 octane I pump in there..I can smell it inside the car. Couldnt it be a leak at the fuel injectors, like a bad O-ring or something?

I had a lot of fuel smell inside the car when the EEC canister hoses were screwed up. Fixed the hoses and the smell went away.

Is changing these hoses a do-it-yourself project? If so, does anyone have directions/pics?
Thanks!

Problem is they connect at the very top of the fuel tank, where the fuel pump mounts. Either have to drop the tank, or build a hatch in the sheetmetal to access the hoses. The cannister end is easier to access... behind the plastic panel in the drivers side rear wheel well.
