How can i make my fan in my car blow more air?

Well before you try and changing the water pump try this first. Drain all the anti-freeze and water out of the radiator and flush it out then put some new anti-freeze and water in it and if that doesn't work you need a water pump.

I own a 1990 4-Runner and been losing gas mileage. Like, 4-5 mpg less! Also notice a gas smell outside vehicle

FIRST OF ALL CHECK YOUR COOLANT AND SEE IF IT'S LOW. IF IT IS IT COULD BE A WATER PUMP BUT IF IT'S A QUAD FOUR ENGINE IT WELL MAY BE A HEAD GASKET.THIS ENGINE IS KNOWN FOR THAT BUT IF IT'S A 3.1 IT COULD BE AN INTAKE LEAK.HAVE A SHOP DO A PRESSURE TEST OF YOUR COOLING SYSTEM AND THAT SHOULD ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. IF YOUR COOLANT IS LOW BE SURE TO ADD SOME BEFORE DRIVING IT AGAIN. IT WILL BE A YELLOW BOTTLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.MAKE SURE THE ENGINE IS NOT HOT WHEN YOU OPEN THE TANK.
