Default Help: i smell gas

I just put in my CAI the other day and ever since my last fill-up ive been smelling gas inside the car. I also smell it in the trunk. When i went under the car near the gas tank there was no smell. The vacuum hose thing that goes from my engine to the intake tore the other day and so i was forced to tape it up (going to get more tubing tonight). Dont really know what that tube even does, could that be the problem?

Any help is appreciated, thanks

im sure it will be. id disconnect your battery for 15 minutes to let the computer reset and correct itself.
