Default Strong gas odor....

I have a very strong gas odor coming from my 95' Dakota 3.9L Auto 4X4. I can't seem to find where it's coming from.... I've checked for gas leaks and have found none. I'm thinking maybe the black canister I think it's called the EVAC or EVAP canister but not sure. Another thing I thought that it could be is the vent tube on top of the tank but again not sure.
Wondering if anyone else has had this problem and found the problem?

Thanks,

Merrie

Unless its a leak the you got it, it could be the Evaporative (EVAP)/Charcoal Canister. The Canister collects the gas fumes to reduce the possibility of vapor lock. It also could be your gas cap.
