The canister is the likely problem.  |
The sender unit fits into the top of the fuel tank. Once placed and screwed in with the ring nut, it in essence becomes part of the fuel tank wall. a crack in that surface will allow vapor to escape the tank, ergo the fuel smell.
The sender itself, which measures fuel level, still works because the mechanism is unaffected by the crack.
Replace the canister. If it works more power to you. But think you will find you still have the smell.
