Strong Fuel Smell after driving

I have a strong fuel smell from under the hood after driving. It occurs after I drive on the highway or just a short trip in the city.

Could I have a problem with the fuel pressure regulator?

I wonder if you might have an injector that is not completely closing. After the vehicle sits for short while following one of these trips, pull a plug at a time and see if the strong fuel odor is coming from a cylinder.
