Is the smell coming for exhaust under the hood or is it more of a raw gas smell? Does the car run pourly? With not much info to go on. I'am going to have to say you have a bad pressure regulateror you have some bad injector O'rings at the fuel rail. NOS 8)

Could be a couple of things. Fuel leakage, check all connections. Charcoal canister in evaporative emissions control system clogged or vapor leaks from evaporatice control system lines.
