Sorry, I stuffed up the posting.
Check your fuel cap,my car always had a fuel smell especially if the tank was over half full.It seems that because the filler is at a very shallow angle into the tank the fuel surges against the cap.If the venting on the cap is faulty the cap fills with fuel which then leaks out and down the overflow.A second hand cap has almost fixed my fuel smell,a new one is on order.Sounds too simple but it's worth a try.
