I have the same problem with my LS400. I have an intermittent fuel smell in the cabin for no particular reason. The smell is the strongest inside the trunk. Sometimes It only smells there. I have checked the fuel system up and down, took it to a Lexus dealership mechanic, and neither of us could figure it out. I also thought it might be the charcoal canister, but am not yet willing to go replacing it without some more insight on the issue. If anyone has had any luck getting rid of this problem please post.
