Gas smell by driver's side rear wheel well.

I forgot to mention,
when I had the car at the shop getting the mounts replaced, I asked the mechanic if he could give me thoughts on a knock I was hearing during warmup. He told me the purge valve was making that noise. I don't think the purge valve was making the knock I was referring to, but none the less he recommended replacing the purge valve.

So, I guess what I am getting at, could a faulty purge valve in the engine compartment cause a gas smell by the filler?
