As you are getting a smell of petrol. With the engine running have a look round the engine bay having started the engine from cold, this way you will see andsmell if there is a fuel leak in the engine bay. Also have a look in the back right hand corner (that is when looking into the bgoot) of the boot. Having lifted the carpet, there could be a panel that is secured by 4 screws (it is on my bugeye). Unscrew the screws and lift the panel this will allow you to check the hoses and te seal on the sender unit for leaks.
