Default Fuel smell

I am getting a strong fuel smell especially when cold INSIDE the cabin, and strong in the left front wheel well. My wife complained about it last week, and I finally smelled it this morning after 20 min of a remote start. The whole cabin reeked of fuel.

NO visible leaks under vehicle.
strong smell in left front wheel well
no apparent smell in any other location.
NO codes

Gas cap feels wrong, and will be replaced this evening. Not sure how that would translate into smell in LF well though

No apparent smells near the charc box either.

Any thoughts?

Randy
