Recently (past few months) I've been smelling gas in the trunk of my sedan after filling up the tank. On occasion I can smell the fumes in the cabin, but mostly in the trunk. No spillage, fuel cap secure, new (18 months old) fuel lines from in-tank pump and all clamps secure. Bung nut secure. The only think I could think of is the fuel filler hose from the fuel neck to the tank. Is there a hose that can or should be replaced after this many years of service?
Thanks in advance for any direction.
