I suppose there no problem with your smelling, you would smell fuel right?
The reason i am asking is from my experience.Once i drove from south France to Bohemia --cc1300 km one way..So filled my tank in Saint Tropez where i lived close-by..
After filling the tank i took off and in couple of seconds i smelled fuel..it was from left side of the front fender.Where i prior remove the fuel tank breather canister-mistake.I drove gently for the rest of the trip ..never filled to the top again.
So do you have the canister there or not?In city taking off and braking the fuel moves in the tank much more then driving smoothly on the highway..
just an idea

Ivan... There are two canisters in my front wheel well. The bottom appears to be a water reservoir. The top, smaller, I assume to be fuel related. I think if 10 gallons per tank is leaking from there---or anywhere---there would be a distinct smell of it. Never any fuel smell in the least. I looked all around both canisters as much as possible given their location, and I see no sign of fuel leaking. I'm sure there would be clean areas where leaked fuel would have removed road grime. Spotted nothing like that.

Your thinking about taking off in the city and compared to driving smoothly on the highway... credit due you. That's clever. Thank you.
