Fuel smell revisited.....

I went searching for the source of the fuel smell this wknd...took the trap door off (fuel pump access) and it looks like there could be some fuel splashing out from around the round access hole. However I could not get any to splash out even with a 3/4 full tank and much jumping up and down on the tailgate. I resealed the trap door with foam stripping but wont know until the next fill up whether this will help. Even if it does block the smell ..its still a bandaide for the real problem. Does anyone know how or if the round dish cover for the fuel tank is sealed ? I dont smell anything from the front of the car..so I dont think its the charcoal canister...maybe the fuel filler pipe?? I also dont see any signs of leaks underneath ..but smell is very pronounced after a fill-up. It looks like that round plastic cover screws into the tank..it wouldnt budge when I tried it..and I didnt want to force it ...any ideas >?? thanks
