Check for leaks

Like puddles of gas I think if its the 5.4 it is direct injected which may be a cause But is it just the smell or liquid fuel thats accumulated in the air box if the filter is wet then take it to a shop as soon as possible is it misfiring too I can go into a few causes but honestly since its a fuel related issue your best bet is to take it to a shop as soon as possible

Hi as cars get older and need to be serviced by a dealer otherwise some do make mistakes with things and a blowback would put fuel into the air filter.

We talking a little gas or the filter is soaked in it. A little as a car ages is fine. Just means it is running a lil off. Tune it up. A lot of gas it is soaking in it. You have problems.
