A fuel smell when accelerating can indicate a fuel leak or an issue with the fuel delivery system, such as a malfunctioning fuel injector or a worn fuel line. It may also be a sign of an overly rich air-fuel mixture, which can result from a faulty sensor or an issue with the engine's air intake system. Additionally, exhaust leaks near the engine can sometimes cause fuel odors. It's essential to address this issue promptly, as it can pose fire hazards and affect vehicle performance.
Check the fuel filter or the fuel pump.
