Answer
Hi Mark -

Being that your vehicle is "well seasoned", I would definitely check the fuel lines. In addition to the regular delivery lines, you also have vent lines that could be cracked and releasing fumes. The fuel cap could be defective as well. I think if you were to inspect the fuel related components, especially the vent lines coming from the tank, you will find the culprit.

Hope this helps -
aloha
