Obviously its a pressure related issue. The smell only is present when the car is on and the fuel pump is putting pressure to the fuel lines and fittings. In this case, i would take it somewhere you can put it up on a lift and inspect all the fuel lines under the car. It sounds like it may be coming from somewhere closer to the fuel tank. Let us know what you find.
