QuickLTD: missed your post earlier, sorry. My hosts did not notice the gas smell so severe until just today when I filled the gas tank, right near the house. All other times I filled it 50 miles away down near Missoula, so that makes me think it's likely (hopefully) near the top of the tank, whatever the problem is. That makes it easier to patch, or deal with if I can't get it fixed just now.
I've driven quite a distance with a leak in the pressurized fuel delivery line before, I'm willing to drive across the country with a measly leak-that-i-can-mostly-avoid-by-not-filling-the-tank-all-the-way, until I can get it sealed.
I'm not a welder for sure, I wouldn't try that. And because of the location at all, and especially because I don't have a lift, I'm not going to try patching it myself. I need a mechanic with a lift to put it up for me and I'm probably going to need to pay them to take it off too if I'm using their lift (I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting me working on my car while it's on their lift). I'd probably prefer it too, it takes me a lot of deliberation and planning and stress to do something as major as that the first time.
