My son's 84 900T had afuel smell on two occasions. The first sounds more like 
your problem. We traced the fault to a tube that reroutes vapor from the tank 
to the charcoal canister. There is a small metal device that has about 3 
connectors for tubing located inside the right rear bodywork behind the trim 
and at about the level of the top of the rear seat.This is in a 4 door.(I'm 
writing from memory of something that happened several years ago). One of the 
tubes had come off and fuel vapor was leaking into the car. Once it was 
re-connected the smell went away.  The other time fuel was leaking into the 
trunk around one of the hoses that enter the fuel tank on the right. That 
time gas was visible in the trunk well.

Good luck
