I opened the hood and found
that the big fat filler hose was damp underneath, and that it apparently
had been dripping when the car is in operation.
Yeah, I ran into that in the mid 90's on my wife's 70 Fastback. It had a
fuel smell in the car until you got below half a tank. It drove me nuts
trying to find the cause, until 1 day right after filling it, I too noticed that
hose was soaking wet. I pulled it off, and looked inside, and saw all
sorts of cracks in the inner hose portion. Went to NAPA and got a section of
hose that was very similar to the OE stuff, and installed it. It wasn't a
cheap section of hose, but it did fix the problem, as I haven't noticed the
smell anymore, and it's been over 15 years (almost 20 now) since I replaced
that hose.
