Fuel smell after fill up - leaking sending unit?
Ever since I got my car I noticed if you fill it up it would smell heavily of raw fuel until the level in the tank dropped a bit. After searching a while I decided to take the inspection cover off the sending unit under the rear seat. The top of the pump was wet and smelled exactly like my garage does after I park it with a full tank. Do the lines leak or does it look like I need a new seal for the sending unit?

That brass fitting isn't factory? Well that could be my problem then. The previous owner put a Wally 255 in, and one of the bolts broke for the sending unit ring, so I may end up replacing the whole tank and put in a new sending unit.
There should be a rubber gasket between the plastic lip of the fuel basket and the tank. Is that still in tact?
