frozen gas line? 850

Since the fuel system is sealed I think you wouldn't normally smell any fuel unless there is massive flooding.

Are you sure the fuel pumps are running? Either you should hear them for a couple secs when you turn on the ignition (may need someone to stand back there), or you can place an ammeter in series with each fuse (again you would need to be trying to start the car). Holding the gas pedal to the floor while trying to start cuts off the fuel supply (to remedy flooding).

Also are any diagnostic codes set which might indicate an ignition problem, rather than fuel?
