Too much of a rich mixture wouldn't give a gasoline smell. It would just make the exhaust darker than normal. Even an unburnt fuel situation wouldn't give that smell of raw gasoline. It sounds like you have a gasoline leak. I would take the car back to the mechanic who worked on the fuel lines.

EHA
A faulty EHA will leak through the weep hole or from the tiny rubber o rings, is the smell strong when you lift the hood ?

Also a fuel pressure regulator would leak from its vacuum hose if it's shot. Look for gasoline going back to the engine through the breather.
The EHA could be leaking too like mentioned above. Those O rings are less than two dollars.

When do you notice the gas smell and when do you not notice it (if ever)?
