I have a Jaguar and there is always a gas smell Why?

I have a Jaguar, everytime i fill it up with gas or when it is low on gas, there is a very strong smell of gas vapors, its not from the engine, nor the gas cap, I can smell it very stong where the covertible top is on the side. my jag is a xk8 conv. 1999, dose anyone know why this smell is happening or where it is coming from?|||Sounds like you have a hose that either came off or rotted in the evap system|||First off lol you do NOT own a jag, it is a glorified Ford (Ford unfortunately acquired Jaguar thus completely destroying the once great marque of Jaguar). There is a major factory recall involving this problem so call your local Jaguar dealership, have your VIN # handy, ask to speak with the service advisor, read to him your VIN # so he/she can run it through the computer to check to see what recall repairs were not performed on your car. THIS IS FREE and you DO NOT have to pay for these repairs. Just play it safe and do this- there is no charge for this service. And thank those bozos at Ford for making sure you had such a wonderful time worrying about this kind of thing - its' stuff they should have taken seriously in the first place to prevent this from happening in the first place.|||You feed it raw beef?|||Canister vapor valve, that's what takes in and controls gas fumes that come from the fuel tank. I'm pretty sure you car has on. Also check you fuel pressure regualtor, if its wet then its gas and you need another one.
