Gas is a slang way to say it’s potent / strong.
Potent / strong (and especially fresh and not properly cured) weed can smell almost like Dow made it in a chemical plant in Jersey.
Diesel is a common descriptor for genetics

What is diesel?
I’d bet the gas slang came out of using “diesel” to describe genetics.
But the smell of the bud is almost “diesel fuel” in aroma with its nasal hit.
