'80 99gli fuel smell

I need some help figuring out why I still smell fuel in the cabin of my 1980 99gli. For reference, it has the plastic tank.
I have:
removed the charcoal canister and associated lines up in the headliner and plugged the holes/lines at both ends.
R/R the tank and install new vent lines and grommets.
replaced the hose clamp around the pump flange-to-tank lip.
checked accumulator to insure the internal diaphram isn't leaking.
replaced the large braided filler connection hoses
The smell occures more often when the tank is full, and the fuel is sloshed around. There is no smell with the window shut, but crack the windows, and the smell appears. I can't find any leaks under the hood...but I can smell fuel in the trunk area after stopping....
any ideas?
Thanks!
