Is your garage having well sealed door, rocking all the time and drastically changing temperatures?
Are you welding in your garage with door closed? :S

You can just leave the cap vent open.
Yeah, enjoy the fumes in cabin while you can.
Just don't light up.

Summer is over, temperatures drop below 110F, so I start doing some yard work and went to my shed, where I keep my gas cans.
This is how my gas can looks like when I left it in the shed on hot day and colder nights arrived.
Colder in this case is 80F.
I wonder how your Honda gas tank will look like in the same circumstances?

Weird, my Honda generator sits in the same shop as plastic gas cans. None of them look like that, including the Honda tank. Maybe you shouldn't have stepped on your gas can.

We've stored our generators inside the camper under the table, held in place with heavy shock cords. Sheet of polypropylene packing foam to prevent rubbing wear. No smell after the fix below.
Advantage of being inside is that they start better when we are boondocking during winter.
Downside to moving them in / out of the high entrance of our TC (due to being on a 4x4 and having a basement), is that the generator gets tipped sometimes resulting in a gasoline smell.
It wasn't coming from the cap due to pressure change going from sea level to 8,000, nor large temperature range swings during the day. Rather gas was dripping out of the carburetor bowl through the bowl vent.
Solution was to plug the vent line with a golf tee when moving the generator into the TC. You could see the liquid gasoline above the tee, after moving it inside. Later I got a short piece of fuel tubing for the tee, I keep it on the oil drain slope to the left, when it isn't being used as a plug during normal operation.
If you happen to forget to remove the vent plug, the generator will stop running after a while and you are wondering why it stopped.:S
