have you checked the pipes that go to the top of the fuel tank coz if you have fitted a fuel pump you could of split a pipe or 1 of the pipes is loose

i would check tho's pipes just to cancel that out i remember when i fitted a new fuel pump on the first scoob i had i split a pipe an didnt see it an i could smell fuel really bad the other thing you could check is the seal round the lid on the tank that could coz you to get a bad fuel smell in the car hope you get it sorted coz even tho fuel smells nice when your filling up your car it smells awful when it lingers in your car
