My wife complains of strong gasoline fumes, and it seems to come from somewhere in the rear of the car. It is strongest in the passenger side, but only if the fuel tank is not completely full.

Is there a venting system that I sould be aware of, and if so, any cracked lines, location of them, etc. to look for?
