Gas smells come from leaks or the engine running too rich ( over fueled ). You need to inspect for any wetness/dampness around the fuel lines/rail and injectors if the smell appears from under the hood. If the engine is over fueled, a scan test can be performed to find out why. Sometimes oil leaks on/around the exhaust system can also give a fuel type smell. Have the vehicle checked for this also.

sounds like it could be a leaking fuel rail. you should fix this very soon. if it is it is a fire hazard. that is if it is under hood and not underneath. look under vehicle and check for wet spots.
A wet and dry compression test, and a cylinder leak down test will narrow down this issue.
It's not unusual for an engine to smoke slightly until it's warmed up,
especially if the choke is set a little rich. With only 400 miles, the
rings are certainly not yet completely worn in and are not sealing yet.
Depending on the oil used, driving habits, the engine can not be
expected to be completely broken in for at least a couple thousand and
as much as 5k miles. I used synthetic oils from the start, and the
rings didn't start to seal well for 7k miles. It still uses very
little oil at 88k miles, although piston slap is now evident cold, and
another o/haul is scheduled for this winter.
Does that make sense?
