When you changed the filter I assume you would have undone the filler cap? Did you remember to do it back up. Also make sure you wash everything (filter side) down with water. This should eliminate any excess fuel laying on panels.

Other places fuel smell can come from is if the cap isn't sealing, purge canister solenoid staying open, leaking injector, fuel lines split coming out of tank under vehicle.

Is there a problem if it doesnt seal???
