I have a 91 Nissan Sentral that is a manual. Used to just smell like gas when first started. Now seems to smell like gas the whole time I am driving it smells worse when accellerating. Also once the engine warms up and I turn car off and restart it immediately kills and then I have to crank again. Also Making a rattling noise while driving. I had the fuel tank replaced two summers ago. Also had fuel injector replaced about a year ago. Have had alternator replaced and brakes front and back also had exhaust replaced twice in three years.. What could this be?? Worried. Also I suck with cars!!

You've replaced a lot, but how about the fuel pump and lines? The fuel pump is pretty easy to check yourself. In the trunk there should be an access panel to the fuel pump, pop it open and take a look. If it's quite and clean your good, if not....walbro.com (I dont work for them, I just like their fuel pumps)

Check the coolant temperature sensor and pressure regulator vac hose for fuel.
