At the area where filler neck is located inside trunk there is a hose that runs down and should go out of thrunk through the drain at bottom of quarter panel well. If this hose is not out through the hole or if it is cracked or not connected you will get fuel smell.

Rod,
search the archive for Andrew or Owen and you should find the thread discussing this problem.
We both have experienced it.
