Did you replace the 2 small hoses on top of the tank? No leaks in the engine bay-fuel rail, carbon canister etc?

charcoal/carbon canister could be blocked no longer filters fumes or lines are off/unplugged in engine bay

Cheers, Cap'n
And I always tell people to check the fuel pressure reg. cos a strong fuel smell in the cab was caused by that in my daughter's 1st car, a VP V6.

This. This was my VP as well. Did everything.
Didn’t replace the cap. Didnt check for blockages. Didn’t replace carbon canister and should have.
