Default Smell of petrol fumes

Hi Folks
I get a strong smell of petrol fumes inside car and outside rear when tank is filled just over half way and above, it`s not smelling around engine bay.It has been like it for a while and wondered if it could be the fuel filter or the charcoal canister .I seldom fill over half way as I don`t travel that far with it at a time, I also only use shell petrol if that has any bearing on any of the above . And also I will just mention after spending big money on engine work ( have written before about this) and being told car was finished, with the help of you folks I have done 1k miles since, so we are still running nicely with no overheating at all and as said before I still check water level before any journey as always did and run with the digital reading on.If anyone can advice regarding this fuel smell it would be much appreciated, Regards Paul
