Strange... Under heavy acceleration and hard coners I smell gas. Anyone ever resolve a problem like this?

possible problem with the over flow or vent tube?

maybe this?

Campaign Number: 95V244000 Date: 1995-Dec-15

Component: Fuel System, Gasoline: Storage: Tank Assembly: Filler Pipe And Cap
Defect Summary: IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A MIXTURE OF MUD AND SALT TO GET TRAPPED BETWEEN THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND WHEEL HOUSING. THE TRAPPED MUD AND SALT CAN RESULT IN CORROSION OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND THE WHEEL HOUSING.
Consequence Summary: SIGNIFICANT CORROSION OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE MAY RESULT IN FUEL LEAKS WHICH IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. IN ADDITION, THE LEFT REAR SEAT BELT RETRACTOR IS MOUNTED TO THE WHEEL HOUSING AND IN THE EVENT OF SIGNIFICANT CORROSION, AND THE MOUNTING COULD FAIL IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
Corrective Summary: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THESE VEHICLES AND CORRECTIVE ACTION WILL BE TAKEN DEPENDING UPON THE EXTENT OF THE CORROSION.

I'll have to pull the wheel out from there and check a lil better. I did some wheel well repair, and didn't see anything.

I thought it was possible comming from the engine bay. Fuel lines are holding pressure. Anything emission wise that could cause the smell?
