Gas smell is no bullshit. I have driven for 2 years with no charcoal canister on my Supra it never smelt like gas until... My injectors started randomly leaking from the fuel rail. That was a pain in the ass, had to drive it home knowing it was leaking fuel pretty bad. I would check for leaks if I were you.

When I had the problem of a strong gas smell from the engine years ago it turned out to be a simple problem of one of the vacuum hoses being connected incorrectly. However if you no longer have a charcoal canister the previous owner could have messed up a lot of things that would cause problems. I am not saying that not having the charcoal canister is the cause just what the other guy might have done elsewhere that would lead to your problem. I would get a diagram of how the vacuum line should be connected and start there. After that is checked you can move on to other causes and eliminate possibilities as you go.
