Default Smell of gas in passenger compartment

2001 XK8 4.0 Liter with 80K miles
I have a recurring incident of smelling gasoline from the driver seat on occasion. It seems it happens after decelerating when I'm getting off the throttle from 70mph down to 50. After i smell gasoline I've pulled over and looked under the car for gas dripping to find none. I've raised the car to look at the fuel lines from the tank, the filter all the way to the engine compartment they all look dry.

Bob,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to XK8/XKR forum for advice from members with the same model.

Graham
