A raw gas odor indicates a leak of some sort--better have a mechanic check the entire fuel system and try to pinpoint where it smells the strongest. Could be leaking from a line or hose connection in a hidden area or a vent hose/line may be ruptured or broken but that would usually give an odor all the time. Charcoal vapor cannisters sometimes will give off fumes without a visible leak...they are designed to capture gas vapors in the fuel system and can sometimes get clogged up enough to release the vapors to the atmosphere which may be what you're smelling.

the leak is probably the fuel pressure regulator or a leaking injector seal look for a clean area around the fuel lines, fuel washes away dirt and grime

possibly a oxeygen sensor or bad gas, catyletic converter going out usual that rich smell is a bad mix of air and gas maybe even the airfilter

sounds like it might be an injector gone bad or you may have a gas leak somewhere

it is probably not fully combusting and the smell is coming from the exhaust
check your spark plugs and timing
