Default Fuel burning smell

Hi Folks,
Lately I have started to notice that my car gives off a "fuel burning"
smell after a drive. Its a 1993 Toyota Camry V6. I have kept this car in
running condition for over a year now. I have had things like hoses
replaced, timing belt replaced and also the transmission replaced in
this period. Is this fuel burning smell a result of using poor quality fuel?

Or would it mean something is wrong with the fuel lines or fuel filter?

Can a lube shop fix this issue?

Thanks!
Abee

I would not trust a lube shop to properly diagnose or repair the issue. I
would take the car to a competent ASE certified technician for diagnosis and
repair as soon as possible. If the cause is a fuel leak, you have a big risk
of fire, and if the cause is an exhaust leak, you have a risk of
asphyxiation.
