I'm getting a whiff petrol when im driving sometimes and after I've driven my 180 sometimes.
I'm pretty sure its coming from the exhaust as there's no smell in the engine bay and no smell when left off stationery so don't think its a leak, its only once I've driven it.
I know my exhaust is not in the best condition as i think the baffles in the mid section have gone as its been sounding quite raspy lately. Any chance its linked to the exhaust system?

Check the O-ring around the top of the tank. Under the rear bench, lift off the round cover. I had similar problem when I first got my car. There may be some petrol residue around the top.
Reason behind the smell is under the round cap, there is a gap where the tank doesn't sit flush against anything and can be smelt outside the car.
Try tightening the O-ring.
