The check valve on some models of the charcoal cannister is prone to failure and will allow fuel vapors to escape, and the hose may come disconnected or rot through.
Given that recent work was done on the fuel lines in the engine compartment, those connections would seem to be a logical place to check, even if you don't see an obvious leak. When vaporized, a little bit of fuel can make a significant stink.
