If it smells like gas near the evap canister, maybe it is the evap canister? Do you "top off" your gas tank when you get gas?

Front wheel or rear? If front, pop the hood to see if its coming from the center of the engine bay or closer to the driver side? Can you smell it inside the cabin?

If its the rear, most likely what everyone else said.
