560SL strong gas oder inside of car

Gentelmen

Occasionally I get a gas oder in the interior of my 1988 560SL. The gas oder is not under the hood or underneath the car, just inside. And so far it has only happened about 5 times in the last year. Yesterday was the worst time it ever happened. I had what I belive was dirty fuel injectors so I put some Techron in the tank and drove it hard to try and clean them out. The tank was full. I stoped, opened the hood, removed the air cleaner and ran the car for a while in my garage. When I opend the door to get back in I got a very strong blast of fuel oder. I checked all the fuel injection lines for leaks and the fuel pump. No smell of gas in these areas. The problem subsided after a short drive with the windows opened but I do expect it to happen again in the near futer. Any ideas are greatly appriciated before I pull the gas tank.
