Did you check on the recall they have on 91-92 Camaros for this ? The weld that holds the neck of the tank to the tank might crack and cause gas vappors and/or gas to escape trough it. Call in the VIN to a dealer or let them inspect it. If that's the case it will get fixed for free.

It seems as if the smell is comming from the little plastic vent, which is connected to the chassis, it has a black hose connected to it
