Hi everyone,
I've got fuel smell in the cabin after filling the tank (not strong)
Been to a workshop to have it checked and it was recommended to change the charcoal canister. Fuel pump under the seat was dry with no sign of leakage.
Fuel smell was again present in the cabin the next morning.
There was no smell in the engine bay.
I'm thinking that it could be a worn o ring at the fuel pump?

How did you get on with your petrol smell? The charcoal canister would have a solenoid vent valve to allow fresh air in when the bleed solenoid at the engine was allowing fumes to be drawn to the engine. I'm not sure if the vent valve is normally open but since it is under the car you wouldn't expect smells in the cabin. The engine ECU apparently checks the integrity of the Evap circuit and should show a fault code if there is a problem with leakage or performance of the valves
