The fuel smell was worst when driving at normal speeds, but I did fill a full tank today, but no obvious leaks. Obvious cracks in all rubber parts though, this car has been sitting in the sun for a while, so it might indeed be a seal |
Fuel smell after fillup is highly suggestive of a dried out and hardened gas cap seal combined with a worn out filler neck seal. Because of the location of the gas tank behind the rear seat, the filler neck hole is pretty much inside the cabin.
