Check everything that sees gas. Most likely it's a busted fuel pump cover gasket.

Does it only reek really bad with a gas tank that is more than half full and when you corner hard or brake hard? If so it could be your fuel pump O-ring.

Like these guys said. Check the o-ring on the fuel pump cover. The fact you replaced the fuel pump, that the first place to look.

Also look at the two rubber fuel lines that connect to the top of that pump cover. Check for leaks there and that the hose clamps are secure.

There is a lot of fuel pressure there at the those hose lines and at the o-ring.


Another place to look is at your fuel filter. Check that there are no leaks in the rubber fuel lines that run to the filter and the fuel rail.

Inspect these items with the car running (or key on with the pump primed).
