Unhappy Gas smell inside - gas drains fast!

My 05 grand cherokee 5.7 hemi, has a strong gas smell inside, and i noticed my gas drains quick. Sounds like a leak, so where should i start looking?

Thanks

this can be due to an injector problem.o rings may be. if it is, you need to fix it fast because it can cause fire. and on my previous car, i got a hole in gas filling hose and spilling gasoline to ground. very dangerous situation.

Start where the smell is strongest and go from there. If you're losing fuel as fast as you make it sound, you should see it leaking right from the source of the leak.
