Have a pretty strong fuel smell almost all the time outside the car. Can smell it after driving when we get out of the car & while driving if the sunroof or windows are down & we come to a stop. Just bought the car & would love to fix this before we blow up one day I guess?

Any ideas? Leaky fuel pump, fuel line, delivery??? Seems to be originating on the exterior of the car.

Thank you!

PS-- Also having a difficult time starting the engine on the 1st try. Can get it to turn over on the 2nd try. The owner's manual says to be patient, but it should be a given that it starts without any headaches.
