petrol fumes

Hi all - just dusted the 73 beetle off and got some work done so she looks a treat but have a problem.

when I fill the tank up - I get a lot of petrol fumes coming in the cabin. Under 1/2 fill no probs. Haven't had a good look at the tank yet - what are the things to look for?

Cheers

RCB

blockages or split lines especially where the clamps are fitted.
