Default Gas fumes

I have BDR #1234 with a Coyote 5.0 motor. About one year old since purchased new and really love the car.

One issue that's always been present is a very noticeable gasoline odor when driving, which would linger for a day or two when parked. This seems very unusual and disconcerting. I've never smelled gas fumes on any of the 30 or so production cars I've owned and can't imagine why it would be "normal" in a BDR which should have a similar sealed fuel system. As a boat owner, I know never to start a motor when gas fumes are detected, so I'm very concerned that I may have a potential explosive situation going on here. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Cashburn, I know you have a lot of experience with Coyote installs, so I would truly value your input. Thanks!
