Are you overfilling the tank? When the hose shuts off, pull it out and
don't try to top it off.

One poster in the past perceived the smell of the spare tire rubber
as that of gas.

Ah, that brings back fond memories of several different 50s and 60s
sports cars I used to drive.  Back then I would have suggested a leaky
carburetor.  Today I have no idea.  My '91 is as free from gasoline odor
as when it was new, but thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I've heard that if you replace your cat with a test pipe the odor of
gasoline will increase.  I'm about to do that myself, so I'll find out
for sure.

Keep at it dude (trying to find the source).  Start at the gas tank inlet,
fuel filter, fuel line to the injectors, etc.  Also, carry a small ABC fire
extinguisher.  If it bursts into flames, you might have a chance in saving
it.  If you don't have a fire extinguisher, and it bursts into flames, pull
the engine hood release, but leave the hood closed.  When the firemen
arrive, tell them you've pulled the hood release (the cable burns through
rather quickly).  This way, they'll be able to open you're hood, without
destroying the bodywork, and also keep fresh air from fueling the fire.  Oh,
by the way, I've been a paid city firefighter the past 17 years...I can't
believe how many car fires I've been to, where the person tells me, "you
know, I've been smelling gas fumes lately!"   Good luck...jim

This is one of the few failures I had in the '90. Turned out to be a leaking
gas line at the fuel injectors. In the '90 1.6L, these are the guys that get
in your way when you reach in for the fuel filter.

Once diagnosed, it was an easy fix. Be certain to use gas line that is
designed for fuel injection (i.e. high pressure) applications.
