2013 SL63 AMG fuel smell in cabin after filling up

I just bought this car (my first Mercedes) and I can smell fuel after filling up. The smell becomes fainter as the tank goes below half full, but never completely goes away. I had a local shop look at it and they said they didn't see anything obvious. Has anyone else had an issue like this?

<!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->For the beyond few of weeks I noticed a more potent and more potent fuel smell immediatly after refill. The scent seems to move away after it hits three/four of a tank. The smell is a touch bit within the cabin whilst the HVAC is working however outdoor near the rear of the vehicle at the gasoline cap side (motive force's side) it's far lots more potent. I'm about to take it to my depended on indie German professional however earlier than I try this I am taking into consideration converting out myself the vapor canister purge valve assembly, I think it's a job I can do myself and do not ought to rip out the rear indoors like to get to the gasoline pump/sending unit and so on.
