Strong Fuel Smell (fumes)

Hello, On Monday I purchased a 2002 XK8 with 19,000 miles. It's about time to refuel. I can smell a strong fuel sent(fumes) in the inside of the car. Should I be concerned or will this happen when the fuel level is low? Please advise!

This is a known issue with the XK. Take it to the dealer and tell them about it. There is a manfacturer-specified repair of a vent tube. I had the same issue with myfirst XK back in 2000.
