Fuel Fumes are filling our Garage!

I'm highly concerned about a problem I'm having with my 2000 Odyssey. As the gas levels get lower, the smell of gasoline proliferates from my van. If the tank is less than 1/4 full, then the air is so thick it's almost unbearable.

I've had the van in for service, but they said that a system pressure check showed there was no leak in the fuel system. Yet there is no vacuum suction noise when removing the gas cap for fueling.

I'm afraid of the health hazards this condition could cause, but don't know what to do given that the dealership found no problem.

Anyone had similar problems? ANYONE have any suggestions about what the problem could be or what to have the dealership do?

SandyKC, Did you have the dealer check to see if the gas cap was defective? I expect they did the system pressure check by attaching a unit to the gas filler pipe after
removing your cap. If all checked out ok I'd suspect the cap. Just a thought.
