check the lines into the top of the fuel tank.
I had one split on me and it took a while to find it.
also, check the integrity of the fuel tank gasket, they can disintegrate and that wil let fumes by.
what static fuel pressure do you run?

just remove the battery negative.
lift the boot liner.
fold down the back seat (or remove if not an option)
unscrew the four phillips screws holding down the metal *hump*
look at the bronze coloured metal round thing and see if its wet.
another option is to carry a torch with you on a journey, get it up to speed and temperature and when you stop look through the spokes of your rear drivers side wheel.
that is the fuel tank, is it wet down the sides at all?
if either wet option is yes then you have a fuel leak.
look in the bonnet at the passenger side suspension turret, check out the black shiney round fuel filter, is the weepage from any of the lines connected to the top, it might be they just need a re-tighten.
if you have had a fuel pump but no regulator fitted then you will be running standard static pressure (not a problem for the lines Im sure)
