Gasoline smell

So..., I've been combating the infamous gas smell with the windows down issue since purchasing the car 2 yrs ago. I performed the fuel sender R&R upon purchase since the gas gauge was acting up and it came to me, only a couple of weeks ago, that maybe I should replace the gasket. Prior to this, several long interludes of removing the fuel filler assembly, checking fuel lines, etc, etc, etc..., I was coming to the realization that the fuel tank must come down. Well, today was the first drive with the new gasket, windows down, beautiful cloudless day, and practically no smell! I also found a crack in the gas cap o-ring so that was replaced. Testing will continue...
