I've never managed to achieve a fuel tight seal on the fuel pump boot on either of my cars, so that is probably the culprit.
Also on a long run you end up with a tank full of very hot fuel as its heated as it passes through the metering head and pumped back into the tank via the return line. Round and round it goes getting the fuel in the tank hotter and hotter. I dare say when the fuel is hot it will give off more vapour than cold. I know on the Hamburg trip which after hours and hours of continuous running, a few of us were smelling petrol fumes in the cabin.
