check the grommet where the fuel filler hose goes into the gas tank. its very common to have a leak there. at my dealer we usually replace that every time we replace the fuel pump.

im about to do this myself tm, is there anything specific i should know about replacing the grommet?

as for the gas smell, +1 on that being it, i couldnt place the smell either until the grommet finally ruptured and spilled gas lol
