You might be right. I have had the gas smell in my E-Type for quite some time

and see if it is intact under it.

Quite possibly pinhole leaks under the gas tank. Very common problem as the
metal tank sits right on top of the boot floor, causing a perfect trap for
water.
When you open the boot does it smell like fuel?
