96 Camry gas smell

All,

In the morning when I start my car I get a strong gas smell. I had the car check twice for gas leaks but they did not find any. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing the gas smell?

I've noticed the same with my car, too. Especially after a fill up at the station. I've read that the vent & fill lines can rust out if you live in the rust belt. I haven't checked mine yet, might be a good idea to do so...I guess beyond that, maybe we should have the evap system checked out. The service manual mentions that every 6 years you need to check and clean the charcoal canister using compressed air and to replace the fuel cap gasket.
