So I noticed that every time I feel up my gas tank I smell gas fumes inside the cabin until I have used up at least a 1/4 of my tank? Does anyone have any suggestions on what possibly can be wrong? I thought it could be a seal or o-ring for the gas tank, but I'm not sure.

Your fuel pump assembly has cracks in it which is leaking out fumes due to the pressure build up in the tank. I had the same issues and I had to get it replaced with a brand new one from the dealers. It fixed all issues and icluding starting issues.

Appreciate the help, I'm going to look into that.

It is not the fuel pump itself, is is the sending gauge unit, the nylon top part that seals the unit in the tank. It has developed a crack.

If you take out the rear seat cushion and remove the cover plate in the floor, you will see the pool of gas that builds up there.
