I think there are fuel vapor recovery components (like the fresh air inlet hose and filter to the canister vent valve) on the left side, behind the rear part of the wheel well liner. Going off memory so don't quote me on that. It could cause a fuel smell if the system is open (damaged or malfunctioning), possibly the fuel smell could get inside the trunk from the drain hole or air release vent in the lower part of the inner 1/4 panel area. There's nothing actually INSIDE the trunk as far as the fuel system goes.
