Determine whether the smell is coming from the front or rear of the car.
If the front...
Check the fuel pressure regulator. You can do this by removing the
vacuum line from it. If fuel pours out, replace the fuel pressure regulator assembly as this condition means the internal diaphragm has ruptured.
If the smell is coming from the rear, check the fuel filter and the seals around the fuel pump on the top of the gas tank (under the trunk). The seals are accessible in the area under the trunk flooring (next to the spare tire well).
Hope this helps you get to the bottom of this...
I had the same problem on my 1992 900S and solved it by replacing the fpr.
