Tightened Fuel pump boot cover

I’d been getting a gasoline smell in the car when I would fill up. Someone suggested it could be the clamp on the fuel pump boot cover. I’d never accessed this area, so I read up on it, and went for it.

You can still see some residue around the boot. I’ll check it again in the future.

The fuel was around the boot cover, and not the fuel level sender. The boot and cover seems like a terrible design. The hose clamp can easily slide off the boot cover, which I think is what happened. I cleaned off the top of the tank, repositioned the boot cover, and clamp, and tightened it back down.

I’m proud to say I filled up with gas over the weekend, and I couldn’t smell any gas in the cabin.
