1965 strong gas smell

[sokody]

I have a strong smell of gas when putting my car in garage
There are no leaks to be found in engine or under car
Any possible ideas why

Gas Cap... Have had the same problem with my 64, can't seem to find a cap that fits tight on the filler neck when turned. I plan on buying another and use 2 rubber washers. Hopefully will solve it. When the tank drops below 3/4 it goes away.

Maybe splash back at the filler tube to the tank, or sending unit. It doesn't take much of a small seepage to smell it but evaporates before you can find it.

I’m going to try that
My cap fits but the gasket is worn out
At about 3/4 tank the smell goes away too
Thanks
