Q: fuel pump replaced smelling gas
2wks ago I had my fuel pump replaced. Smelled gas for 5 days when I step out of the car for 2-3 minutes, I brought the truck back to the shop. Was told no leaks but they smelled "a little gas" so they re-dropped the tank and added lubricant to seal, they swear there were no leaks. For 1 day I did not smell gas and now I do again. Any ideas?
