Default Strong Fuel Smell...

Guys, i'm suffering from an SFS...a Strong Fuel Smell...ok, that was lame

I'm curious as to why i'm smelling this everytime i take the ol' teggy out for a run. It's obviously coming from behind me and it gets stronger the further back into the car i follow it...almost like Toucan Sam...cept i'm not following fruit loops...

My first thought would be that because i've COMPLETELY gutted my car the odour would be more present because there's less to shield the smell from me.

I don't have an external fuel leak and i'm still getting awesome mileage (which is helping in these dark times), so i know i'm not losing anything.

Any opinions? suggestions?

i do have a gas smell addiction though...i should have noted that. this is better than any air freshener i'll tell you that! lol, jokes.
