Default SRT6 bogging down and heavy gas smell

I am sure the answer is on here somewhere but I can't seem to find anything that fits. My SRT had zero power last night. When depressing the accelerator at a normal rate it was unresponsive and bogged down. If I press it VERY slowly it would move and get going up through the gears as if in slow motion. When I pulled into the garage it smelled HEAVILY of gas. No codes are being thrown.

Any advice about where to start?

Thanks for anything you have, I appreciate it.

Look under the car from behind the passenger side rear wheel, just behind the wheel is the fuel pump and filter. Look for leaks, there was a reported leak from a split hose in this area month or so ago.

If it is two separate problems then the engine may be running without the IC pump running when it gets hot. This would be obvious as the car will run OK until the car gets hot.

Thank you for the reply. No visible leaks. I just took the car out for a quick drive and it ran as normal with no gas smell.

Anything else I can try to diagnose?
