Did you just fill up the gas tank to full? it could be a little overfilled or you could have a fuel leak someplace, get it checked.

Most likely it is a gas line rupture. You need to take this seriously...if it leaks onto a hot surface, like your exhaust, you could find yourself engulfed in flames. Do not drive it again until you have this checked! Have it towed to a mechanic. Good Luck!

Several possibilities fuel leak?, if carborated vechicle choke could be hung should have noticed a difference in how it drove.
Walked through gasoline and tracked into car.

the obvious is to look for any leaks. then u may check that your gascap is clicked at least 3 times. cap may be bad. if its cold where your at, the engine will need more gas to run. in need of a tuneup? try turning your heater control from outside air to inside(recirculate).

if i were you i would be checking the fuel lines,you might have a pin hole in 1,also check for a flooding condition.
