I Smell Gas!!!!

Just a few days ago my car started sputtering under acceleration. Now I smell gas when I turn the car off and get out. Can this be related?

When did you last change your oxygen sensor? I did too but I think its just unburnt fuel. I don't smell it now that ive got my new oxygen sensor in.

I had that happen under acceleration and braking. It turned out to be my float in the carb was defective.

Is it for emissions purposes, because I have nothing for emissions hooked up.

How do I check for a fualty float, also could one that is going bad cause a loss in performance, lately my car hasn't been pulling as hard.
