Hiya, maybe you have fixed this by now, but the smell usually comes from behind the rear bulkhead ( behinds seats, behind the metal cover) the fuel pipe hoses have standard push on clips so the seals can leak when old and leak fumes. New hoses or usually just a new jubilee clip will solve this. easy fix but the difficulty is the removal of seats, trim and rear bulk head.

Look at the photos and you can see the blue fuse hoses and the large black one that feeds the tank, check all clips , replace or tighten.
Hope this helps.

Hi, on top of the tank there are also two vents with pipes attached. The seal around the vents also age and become hard allowing fumes to escape when the fuel tank is mainly full or over half full. These can be replaced and are available from Henk at Barchettaparts.com and from italy. A temporary fix is to spray/soak the seal while it is insitue with a silicon spray and work or wiggle the fitting to make the silicon soak into the seal. This sometimes revives the seal and makes a temporay fix. They can be very difficult to remove.

Its been a long time to upgrade with some modifications, but have some great plans ahead.

Engine will come out and will color change under bay to match the tungsten silver, it was the only area that never got repainted so wish to get it done.
this will complete the color upgrade.
