Petrol fumes in the cuddy 2005 5.0

[imdw]

Hi, I have a 2005 Rinker 232 with a VP 5.0GXEi engine..and based on the south coast of the UK. Recently, I have noticed a pretty strong smell of petrol in the cuddy, especially as we have had some very warm weather over the past couple of weeks. There is no smell in the engine compartment nor appears to be any petrol in the bilge or indeed and obvious leakage in terms of fuel economy. It had an extensive service back in March time. Any thoughts as to what could be causing this?

Leaky fuel tank or fittings?

Also have the fuel tank vent hose checked.
