Some good and easy fix suggestions already elaborated here. Quickly:
1. Bad gas cap seal.
2. Years ago I had the plastic vent hose near the tank on my 90 240 crack and it was hard to find. If I recall correctly, I only had the gas odor after driving the car. Does your car have such a hose?
3. Check the rubber fuel filler neck for looseness per suggestion.

Will I buy another Volvo??? We'll see....
