Strong gas smell after fill up[900/92] posted by Yates on

I get a very strong gas smell right after I fill the car up, seems to come through the vents. Lasts just about 5 minutes or so then slowly goes away.
I have made a conscious effort to make sure the area I am standing is dry and carefully put the nozzle back on the pump tank and make sure not to drip any gas around the car anywhere and after I start the car you would think I spilled a gallon inside the car. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

This happened to me when I first got my 95 960.
It was a bitch to find too! You are gonna thank me for this when you find it and you will curse me to hell when you are 2 hours into fixing it!
There is a rigid plastic pipe that ties into the fill neck, behind the opening where you stick the nozzle. It is only accessible from underneath and by tearing out the lining on the left side of the trunk.
It cracks. I'll just bet you $50 bux when you top off the tank you have a puddle of fuel under the center/rear of the car!
Also, expect it to set a "Check Engine" code real soon. Get it fixed. You are a road hazard.
General -OUT!
