1st - 5th Gen Honda CivicAs these Honda Civics get older and older they become harder to find in great condition and less popular to modify. By no means does this make them less of a contender on the track or car audio competition. Don't forget the roots of what made import tuning what it has become today.

are you leaking fuel anywhere? i dont think there is any gas related hardware inside the car other than fuel pump under the rear seat cushion which should be sealed.
also check the vapor lines, for the evap system. alot of them run under the car and in the engine bay around the throttle body. if one is torn, gas vapors would come out and get sucked in from the front window vent into the cabin. is it really strong gas smell?
sometimes it is and there will be times that you can't even smell it. but there have been times that the car is parked with the windows up and when i open the door i can smell the gas right away

oh wow my 92 hatch has the same thing..... it was worse in the summer though idk what it can be is there any leak detector kits available for the fuel system?
I would get the same smell when I ran a race header (aka catless exhaust). The smell would find a way in somehow- maybe the cabin intake air. Check the engine bay- fuel lines to fuel rail and injectors. Maybe its leaking around there and getting sucked in the cabin.
Does it happen just when your stopped, or when your gassing it a lot?
Fuel injector O-rings are notorius for causing these symptoms and it is really impossible to diagnose without just replacing. It's a cheap and less invasive way of troubleshooting too might I add.
this may be a long shot, but pull off your rear seat cushion and make sure the fuel pump cover in the middle is seated properly. if its even a tiny bit off center or somehow broken, you will have gas fumes coming in and stinking up the whole car.
