Could be also a loose connection or a wire starting to short out.Check your wires at the tank and to your dash.

Depends on where the smell is coming from. From exhaust, underhood??? in car???

In car, bad tank seals.

under hood, PD, bad or missing carbon filter, or Gas lines

Exhaust, poor compression or missing emissons equippment.
