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.
