I wasn't correlating the smell and the tearing the car apart, I was saying that you could have left a ground connection loose (not likely to spark, but not impossible), or some other electrical wiring could have gotten pinched, cut, frayed. Which leads to the possibility of a spark, the LAST thing you want when you are smelling fuel.

Hope it's the gas cap cheers

Check your EVAP lines at the canister (the large one that comes from the top of fuel tank). I have my EVAP hose intentionally unplugged at the canister and smell fuel when standing near the drivers door.

I'll check again tomorrow but I think the smell went away... i DID PUSH and TIGHTEN the gas cap at the same time.

^ This! I had to get that replaced. I used to smell gas when stepping out of my car before it got replaced.
