My car has a strong gas smell after i fill it. There are no leaks, gas lines, tank, fuel pump lines etc. Top of tank is good. I have to stop filling before the pump kicks off or I will have a strong gas odor in the car for a couple of days.

Try replacing the gas cap. Often times the seal ring on it gets old and brittle and allows for vapor leakage. And that goes for just about every car made. Ever.

You can get a gas cap for approximately $10.00 at any local auto parts store.
