Default Gs400 help

What's up everyone, After I fill up and turn on the a/c I smell fuel. I also smell fuel sometimes when I drive. It's not a very heavy smell but it still smells. The car has few a codes that popped up which all have to do with the evap system. Does anyone know how to fix this.
The codes are. P0440,p0441,p0446


Thanks in advance

Sounds like you may have an evap line loose under the hood.. filling the tank might push fumes through the line into the engine bay.. you then start the car and the a/c pulls the fumes into the cabin. The main line on the GS is on the driver side of the engine..
