So I took the tank out again and replaced the grommets and gas lines.  I found a bad leak in one of the larger hoses http://www.feddishbasses.com/fillertube.html which was probably causing the really bad gas smell from the last 2 or so weeks.   The problem is I still smell gas.  I DID fill the tank until it was completely full so I am really hoping that by burning off a gallon or two will cure that.  If not I’m really close to repairing the gas leak with a match......*

grrrrr

* disclaimer, I’ve been breathing gas fumes in 88 degree heat for 6 hours...
