gas smell

[SilverBullet75]

I've been reading threads on other forums for other cars and they all talk about overfilling gas, which plugs/fills the charcoal canister, or purge valve issues. They all agree that the issue is not normal.

I did recently fill my tank and "topped it off".
May have caused it myself...

I've been reading the same, just out of general interest regarding another car I own. I'll never "top off" any of my cars again. It's a vestige of the "full service" pump days - the attendant would keep on pumping until the next even dollar amount to avoid dealing with loose change.

Thing is, cars got more sophisticated (electronic filler doors, nozzle sensors, vapor traps, etc.) but we just kept on pumping the way we saw the man doing it back in the day.
