I had the same issue with my vz wagon and turns out all I had to do was tighten the fuel cap a little more than the standard clicks. When the cap clicks to let you know it's tight grab it around the edges and give it a squeeze and tighten it up more till it won't go anymore. That solved all my fuel smell issues.
