petrol smell

After an intermittent but strong smell of petrol in my V6 I had the filler neck hose changed which was cracked due to years of being encased in mud. Although this strong smell has now gone there is on occasion a slight whiff of . I have had it rechecked by the garage but they cannot find anything ...
