So are you getting a gas smell still?As far as your fuel gauge goes I can help you with that also. But I need you to start a new question for the fuel gauge issue. So that way when other users do a search on here that have fuel gauge issues with a car like yours they can be helped also by reading the results of what we find from fixing your car. Our site is here to help as many people with there car as we can. If the fuel gauge gets diagnosed and tested on a fuel leak question then other users looking for questions with fuel gauge issues will never find it in there search. Just start the question in the question box with this one is for saturntech9 and I will be more then happy to help you with your problem.

I already told you I would help you and that you would have to start another question so we can help other users by reading our responses. So when they search for your car and fuel gauge issues they can find our responses. Just start the question by saying this one is for saturntech9. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
