John,
One of my cars had the same issue, a smell of gas in the boot. The
replacement of all the rubber bits and hoses did not appease the God Of
Fumes, so I pulled the tanks and discovered that the sealing liner had
deteriorated to the point where fuel was seeping out of the seams in a
couple of spots. I exchanged my tanks for some fresh ones through Doug
Jennings, and, OMG, I can now safely place clothing and such in the boot
without them reeking of Shell Ultra.
Also, pay attention to the neck filler rubber, as they seem to crack.
Fume-freely yours,
Bugz

My M1 has a gas smell when you open the trunk. I could not find any leaks
and
I secure all the connections but still have the smell. Any suggestions?
thanks,
John
