Hello
Can you see any fuel leaking any where, Or is it just the smell you notice? On my 78 Ford van if I top off the tank I get the same strong fuel smell. I replaced the tank several years ago and it must not have sealed that well at the top by the sending unit. I just need to be careful not to top off the tank. Do you have the smell all the time or just when the tank is full?

Ya, common problem is a broken seal on the top of the tank. You can check around there, and replace the gasket
