Default Gas Smell in '98 S70 GLT

Hi Folks,

It's spring and time to fix some annoying issues on my Volvo. #1 (especially according to the missus) is a strong smell of gas inside the car. This is worst with a full tank and a hot day, but pretty much constant.

The really weird thing is there are no evap emission codes being thrown (if fact no codes at all now since the P0117 healed itself). That would seem to me to eliminate most of the obvious causes.

Anybody have some suggestions on the first place to look?

Thank you,

-mB
