Whenever I use my defrosters the smell of gas comes through the vents. And if you stand by the front of the car, you can smell gas.

Yep, this is common when the fuel injectors start to leak. I would raise the hood and use a flashlight to inspect the fuel injectors, here are the location of the injectors and how to change them out so you can do the job or see what needs to be done. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

It's the fuel injectors. They are clogged. I haven't been able to take pictures but I will definitely take them when I get a chance to clean the injectors.
