On two occasions I’ve come to my car after it has been sitting and could smell gasoline near the rear driver side tire. I could also smell faint gasoline in the cabin after filling the tank one time but it went away quickly after. The fuel pumps were recently replaced and I thought they may be cracked or leaking but I had a mechanic as well as myself inspect them and there appears to be no leaking in the area. I thought maybe the charcoal filter but that would be on the passenger side. I am not really sure what would leak gas or gas vapor on the driver side wheel well though.

Pull up the rear seat bottom and see if the smell comes from this area. It’s likely related to the fuel pump repair work recently done. The in-tank components may not have been properly resealed.

Charcoal canister/shutoff valve are located here. Remove rear fender liner and visually check if fine smoke test evap system for leaks.

i inspected both and could not find a leak. I even filled the tank with the seats removed and drove around but no leak was present. There is a faint smell of gas when I put my nose right on the fuel pump, I am not sure if this is normal but there is nothing wet around the pumps.

ah ok. My smell seems to be persistent on the driver side rear. Is the canister on the passenger?

Fumes can travel anyway, checked fuel tank @ interior, time to check exterior - tank & fuel lines.
