Yes this is a bit of an issue with 99s, lots of folk talk about it.
My 'better' 99 developed it after it passed about 90,000 miles AND taking the tank out to rustproof underneath [suggesting a correlation here..?]. It's most noticable after filling up with fuel... In certain markets there's a charcoal cannister at the side of the engine compartment (NSF on RHD?) which might be worth looking at.
Best suggestion is to check all the hoses and lines for leaks, splits, rotting and loose clamps. Fuel injection cars have more places to get fuel smell from under the boot floor there are round access hatches to the pump and sender, with more fuel lines; worth checking too.
Hope this helps.
