stick your face right into the engine near the front opening of the UIM. Literally, get right up in their with your nose and sniff. If that seems to be a centerpoint of strong gas smell then it is your injectors or FPD. If the FPD is that bad it may even be causing a puddle which will run down th front of the "block". Get a flashlight and shine it in the area under the water pump housing/radiator filler neck/pulleys/etc. Check to see if you can see a "run" down the front originating from where you stuck your nose in to smell.
