Default Gas Smell

I have a 1990 Jimmy with 5.7L, 145,00 miles and 31 gallon tank. After I fill it up and drive a little bit and stop i get a strong gas smeel at the rear of the jimmy. I let it sit for a week becuase i was out of town drove it today and it still had the smell. I see on the take were it looks like it is wet on the side of the tank, not sure if the tanks needs replaced or if the gasket needs replaced. i was wondering what other people might think it might be. I plan on replacing the tank, gasket and the fuel pump, strainer and the rest of the items while i was in there.

Where is a good place to buy a tank and the pump, filter and strainer. I already checked the junk yard.

Did you have to drop the tank? Did you see the wetness on the side of the tank.

I am thinking about replacing the pump, sender float to jsut so I know it is done.
