Yeah, it seems like it must be the gasket on the sending unit, or the neck hose. The cab doesn't smell like gas after sitting overnight, so there's something about movement that makes it worse. I wonder if it isn't the neck hose and whether the smell only happens after I turn and gas sloshes up into the filler area. I also notice the gas tank has a vented cap, which I am not sure it should, so possibly I'm just smelling fumes from the vented cap. Though the smell is pretty damn strong.
