You may have a dry-rotted rubber line somewhere in the vent system. An open
vent system would produce strong gasoline fumes but you would not see any
fuel leak. Trace the lines from the canister and inspect them for
damage/dry-rot.

For the last few weeks I have been trying to find the source of a gas
smell coming from my car. The smell of gas is very strong 12 hours
after I stop the car. The smell then goes away until I drive the car
again. Any ideas? I have looked and looked and can't see anything.
Should/can the Fuel Vapor Storage Canister be serviced?
I don't know enough about how a carburetor works to know if the
problem could be something wrong with it. However, the car runs fine.
