    I initially thought it could be my gas cap, but the fuel smell is definitely coming from the engine bay. As stated on the title, I had both fuel pumps replaced this week and confirmed that the shop used the new gaskets I provided them.

    Any thoughts?

    ^^^ and make sure they actually show you where the leak is coming from before embarking on a snipe hunt.

    As mentioned in the other thread, check your roll over valves/vents. Best to take the covers off and start looking around. If you say you had the smell before they replaced your pumps, was it as strong? Maybe a line has been compromised?

    We replace a lot of fuel pumps in the 360 and 430 and all of them get a pressure test with a smoke machine to ensure everything is sealed correctly. It is not uncommon for a green oring to leak even when all the proper torques are followed. The only thing the shop may not have done right is a proper QC.
