There is no leaks, all of emissions system seems to be working fine, purge valve and vent valve open and close properly, canister is not clogged or cracked.
Control of the hose connecting the gasoline filling holder. there may be a leak that part
Testimonial: "thanks. I have checked the the inlet connection. no leaks there, but i took the back seat out and you can access the fuel pump from there and it looks like it has been recently messed with or replaced. I should of started with telling you i just bought this car and dont know the history of it to well."

I also have a 2004 XC90 and a couple of months ago I had the exact same probelm... after multiple visits to my dealer's auto shop they figured out that it was the fuel pump. They replaced the fule pump and the smell disappeared. Good luck!

The is a short rubber hose in the the fuel line that connects to metal tubes on the driver side of the engine. When it is cold, the rubber shrinks, and if the clamps are loose, the fuel will leak from there. Tighten the clamps or replace the short hose with a hose that has some flex, a bit long, to accommodate the shrinkage movement.
Good luck with the dealer, because when the engine heats up the hose the fuel does not leak at all. This was a recall on WRXs but even with the same setup, Subaru denies there is an issue in the 2.5 fuel line layout. My dealer told me to call a tow truck when it happens again, no matter where or when, and bring it in?!?!?!
SOURCE: Gas Tank Leak?
I would look for a loose or ruptured fuel filler neck on the fuel tank, At the right height when 3/4 full

You can generally find a vaccum leak by pressure testing the system. Most auto parts stores sell a vaccum tester relatively cheap. Or you can take it to a shop and they will pump your sytem full of a uv sensitive die and then use a black light to find the leak. If it says vaccum leak at engine on the vent solenoid then all you need is the schematic of your vaccum system to find the solenoid and you should find your leak theoretically.

You may have an overloaded carbon cannister, the carbon cannister stores fuel vapors and is part of the evaporative emission control system, I will be willing to bet if you change it the smell will stop.
