Strong Gas Smell

HELP!....I'm getting a stong gas odor. It seems to be coming from the area of my rear drivers door. There is not anything leaking. I replaced the gas cap(thinking it was letting fumes out)..didn't help.
It's a 1993 4Dr E.B. 4x2.

Strong Gas Smell

The charcoal canister is under the hood and there is a tube that brings the vapors there. There may be a bad connection to that, The ring seal on the tank that holds the fuel pump or the fill connections. Most gas leaks are easy to find, the gas washes them clean. You'll just have to get under here and inspect them all.
