Ok, I have done some more investigating.

My 40 has a 350, and all the emissions has been removed including the charcoal canister. They way it is set up is just a single feed line to the carb. No return line and no venting system. There are a total of 3 lines coming out of the tank that are capped off. Those three caped off lines I am assuming are the return and the two venting lines for the emissions. I would also guess that the gas cap is not a venting type cap either.

I think this is the reason behind the gas smell. I think I either need to rig up a line to a home made charcoal canister or get a venting gas cap. The vapors have to go somewhere, and right now they are just seeping out and getting into the cab.
