this is common enough, my Mini has reeked of petrol for years.
Check the fuel tank in the boot, there is a vent pipe at the top of the tank that exits through a hole in the boot floor underneath the tank, this tube can become squashed/blocked or fall off, simply replace it making sure that it protrudes a good 10cm through the boot floor.
