"He stated and has showed that the reason why most of these smell like there is a Fuel leak is actually because the builders created each of those cars with a plastic fuel tank. Since fuel is a Petro chemical and has a very strong scent, that the plastic lets off the smell."
99% of the cars made today have plastic fuel tanks (even my '88 Jeep Wrangler was made with a plastic tank). Most are made from multilayer plastics - most common is High Density Polyethylene sandwiching a barrier plastic layer. Unless the tank was made from inferior materials, I would suspect there is a leak somewhere. There should be no smell if the tank was made from plastics that are commonly used for this purpose.
