The smell of gas in my case was the fuel caps.
The gaskets are OK but the casting of the cap itself is rough sand-cast aluminum and the gasket does not seat well against it.
As a fast fix, I glued the gasket to the cap with silicone glue and it worked.
I know the silicone won't last with the wing tank caps being unscrewed frequently. The header tank I seldom remove, unless I am taking the cowl off.
As a permanent fix I plan to take the caps apart and machine the bottom surface to make it flat making sure I don't take too much off and make it a loose fitting cap.
