Start the car. Confirm the fault. Turn off.
Check for leaks under the bonnet.
Check the purge valve and the hoses connected to it.
Check around fuel injectors.
Replace the fuel cap
Check for leaks on the fuel tank under the car. Use an inspection mirror to look into the tight spots. A borescope would be better still.
Look for stains on the charcoal canister.
