If it's ruptured gasoline can be entering your intake via the vacuum line.
If you remove the vacuum line from the regulator, it shouldn't have fuel in it, or smell like fuel.
Be careful. It could be pressurized at 60 PSI.
One way to relieve the pressure is to trip the inertia switch, then crank the engine several times, as if you're trying to start it. With the situation you're describing, it may start anyway.
On a '94 the inertia switch should be behind the passenger's side kick panel. Pull up on the red button to trip it. Or, you could remove the fuel pump relay and crank the engine.
