Check fuel pump hanger assembly seal
Check filler neck seal
Check spring-lock couplings on hanger assembly for leaks
Check fuel filter area for leaks
Check fuel tank breather
I had a gas smell once that was strong inside the car, I did not spot any leaks then I traced the fuel line along the frame until it was out of sight where it went above the frame right behind the RF tire,
So I pulled the plastic inner fender off and found the fuel line coming out over the frame and swinging over to the engine compartment. And There was a pin hole in the line in this section and was spraying on the plastic inner fender.
A leak here where its below the cabin air intake area would certainly bring gas fumes inside the car
Those police interceptors had a history of smelling like gas. Most commonly the problem was caused by the improper mounting of police equipment in the trunks.These holes were on the top side of the tanks. Is it possible that you new tank was installed and has been punctured by the same mounting hardware of the old tank. The symptoms would be exactly what you have described,the fuller the tank the stronger the oder, and generally do not see a leak because the hole is located on the top of the tank and is small enuff just let the oder out.

Thats not it. There is only one mod in the trunk, It is a firer extinguisher mount and it is off to the side. This must have been a high ranking officers car. There are no holes in deck lid and no side arm wear on drivers seat. There are holes in light assemblies for wig wags. Thanks for the help, let me know if you think of anything else.
The tank is new,I installed it myself. 209,210 miles on car. Real strong fumes inside car.
