It's probably your O2 sensor.

Yes, a Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) can cause a gassy smell, but keep in mind that this may actually be a symptom not a cause. Visually inspect both HO2Ss. I use a 22mm closed end combination wrench to remove them, take the heat shield off first to get to the secondary (2°) HO2S. Look for any physical damage. Only buy Denso replacements.
On my car, the 2° HO2S is always the one that gets damaged when excessive unburnt fuel is dumped into the catalytic converter. The cat begins burning the excess gasoline and the high temps travel downstream and melt the 2° HO2S.

With the gas smell you're probably running rich.
