Same problem with my TR6. The gasket on the gas cap was leaking. As a
test, put a few folds of paper towel over the filler hole then close the
cap. If no gas smell at speed, replace the gasket. (or just make the
paper towel pad smaller so it hids under the cap because I'm too lazy to
get a new gasket)
