mine smells of gas when i fill it up, then goes away. when you upen up your gas cap do you hear air rushing out as if it were pressureized? maybe your gas tank vent is messed up.

the fill tube is right behind your seat on the drivers side and thats where you are hearing the noise. take off that side panel and rear seats to get to the gas fill tube and tank area and check it out.

well upon further inspection after taking out the seats i found there to be some fuel leaking inside the cabin from one of the lines, i diddnt have any hose clamps to stop the leak but it seems as if the line may be pinched? when i move the line cover the whistle noise goes away and then when i put it back it comes back. also when driving the noise goes away when my foot is on the gas but when i take it off for the second to shift it makes the noise again.
