For the past week or so I have been smelling gasonline when I drive the truck. Typically it is the worst after I fill up. I've checked the fuel lines going to the pump and filters on the rail and everything looks pretty good.

I did put a new fuel filter on a few weeks ago. Is it likely theres a small crack in the canister filter housing? I guess whats weird is that I can smell gas while moving. Shouldnt the circulating air outside the truck carry any fumes away from the truck? Fuel mileage is unchanged, as is power.

Checked codes and only got an EGR code 33. Any ideas would be awesome.
 
yea i had that problem on mine after i replaced the fuel pumps and the canister filter. went away after awhile
 
Have you checked the lines that route the tank fumes from the fuel tank to the canister in the core support, and then to the bottom of the throttle body? I could smell fumes pretty bad when I left the line unhooked just this last time I pulled my 2.9L out.
