Default Petrol smell

I have just bought an 03 sti with ppp fitted, great car but it absolutely stinks of petrol when the tank is filled up and still stinks until there is about half a tank left! Any ideas as to the cause would be greatly appreciated.

When i bought my sti it had the same sort of thing.Tracked it down to somebody bolting something down under the rear seats. trouble was they went straight through the tank as well hence the smell!! might be worth a look m8

having ppp fitted the fuel pump should of been changed,the seal for pump assembly on the top of tank is probably leaking.
