Fuel smell.... hopin to get some ideas/help

I have a 2000 9-5 (2.3 ecopower turbo) that has a fuel smell inside the car. It usually occurs just after you have stopped, the fuel smell is very strong in warmer weather (i.e. above 0 degrees celius), and seems to come through the front air vents.
Initially I thought the smell was coming from the fuel pump. So, to determine if this was the case or not, I popped the back set, lifted back the carpet over the fuel pump, and basically stuck my noise over the fuel pump while someone else drove. I couldn't smell I thing. Yet, as of today, the smell is still there.
So, I am thinking the problem lies somewhere in the ELCD (Evaporative Loss Control Device)system. But how the heck does this system work? I know the charcoal canister is mounted on top of the gas tank. But isn't there also some type of carbon filter in the ELCD system as well on a 9-5? And if so, where the heck is this think located? And could this filter be clogged?
If you know anything about the above and would like to share, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
