Probably a coil. Cheap easy fix.

Fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel line leak, spark or timing...in close to the order you should probably check

I'll edit to go with 8man. If you're smelling fuel you probably don't have a filter or pump issue.

The smell is from dumping raw fuel in the exhaust by driving a misfiring engine

Right. Which tells me the fuel delivery system is likely ok and ignition is where to start looking.

And if it's a coil, it will tell you the exact coil to replace

Did you check for snakes under the hood? I’d check for snakes.

Spark plug or coil. May as well replace them all together. Plus maybe...
