Car stall

My car shakes and idles offbeat when in drive or reverse and sometimes stalls, and i smell gas when it does it, could be a fuel injection problem, since when there is low gas it tends to do it more, what are the possible reasons for this?

Perform the fuel pressure check and get back with the readings-also check the idle air control valve and PCV/EGR valves-throttle position sensor
