If you haven't already, check the easiest areas first:
1. Top of tank fuel sending unit for sign of leak.
2. Fill hose
3. Fuel in bilge
Then of course the fuel tank fill test ( not the door lock test as in the movie Bronx Tale )
Fill fuel tank with plate over sending unit off.......so you can see if it leaks when full, under
pressure.
Regarding cuddy cleaning and headliner...... on my V21 I found wave over bow type heavy spray could leak a bit from the bow slider track design so I had a custom snap cover made with rubber flange over just the outside bow slider section. Looks good and solved issue..
As for cleaning the headliner, with the moisture causing mold, it's a tough cleaning job
with bleach water mixture, scrub brush face mask and a LOT of ventilation.....

I don't recall exactly now how bad it was, will check again this year. Last year the mechanics was supposed to have checked the lines. I will check all those points you mention and also see if I still smell fumes. I think a combination of build up in bilge and the carpet might also have some effect there.
Yeah I am not sure if I want to deal with bleach in an enclosed area. Just remove it all if possible
