Possible there is leak or a joint fault in the fill cap, the fuel tank filling hose clamp , the fuel line to the fuel pump , fuel filter.
Now since petrol is highly volatile a small gap can make the gas smell into the cabin. Please start your check from the tank to the pump and the return fuel pipe, checking for leaks which can be easily tightened or a faulty fuel line changed.

Why doses my car smell of petrol now and then when I am driving ?

Chances are the smell is coming from a fuel leak around the engine.
The air vents pull air in from the engine compartment, especially when the car is moving.

SMELL OF PETROL

I would suggest bringing your car to the local Ford dealer and have them repair whatever is necessary to make your car safe. The better thing to have done, and. Out likely cheaper in the long run, is to repair the fuel pump properly the first time instead of creating a band aide repair.
