My guess it the charcoal evap canister. There are a bunch of hoses and solenoids that control the flow of fumes. When the engine is off, fumes from the intake and gas tank go into the canister. When you start the engine, the fumes are sucked from the canister to the intake and burned. If the solenoids (whether electric, or vacuum) go bad, you get that gas smell... It is worth checking out...
