Check obviouse areas on fuel pipes and injector pipes. If from front of car put on ramps and remove the undertray at back of fuel tank and check the pipes to and from the pump. Otherwise make sure the underbonnet connections to the fuel filler pipe are OK. There should be a square looking cannister which should vent to atmosphere by pipe under wheelarch
