Hello, The fuel tank is currently leaking at the tank vent tube back to the intake manifold and is causing a very unpleasant fuel smell. Has anyone here dealt with this case? Car D2 V8 1999. Thank you.

Looking at Lrcat
You would need to lower the tank to get access to the vent line. If you can find the hole, it could be repaired if the pressure is low. If the leak is from a fuel pump line, then you need to replace the part. You can have a look where the fuel lines exit the tank by removing a cover in the boot. These do wear through. At least on the TD5, diesel they do.
Mine TD5 had rubbed through one of the lines.
