Default gas vapor smell

Hi,

New member here and recent owner of a 05 convertible crossfire. I have a problem with a gas smell/vapors any time I put the top down or windows when driving. I get smell of gasoline immediately. The trunk is missing the liners and side covers. I do know at some point soemone drilled through the opening for the gas sensors. Hope I explained that location well enough, but it is the 5" round opening the gas sensors are plugged into the top of the tank. I'm told they were going to run some speakers wires through it. IDK. It is patched with a hard black plastic like substance just above the wires. I know gas did seep into the car at one point and saturate the floorboards. I assume that's why the liners are missing too now. I removed all the carpeting and cut out the bad areas that were full off gas. The smell went away almost immediately. However I've had the car only 2 weeks. So I just filled the tnak for the first time. There is no leaks anywhere at this time. As well a smoke test shows no leaks in engine compartment nor any fuel lines etc. This smell is more prominent when I filled the tank up. More gas more vapors right! Please help me figure out how to stop this.
