gas smell

This is my first truck with tank behind the seat. I notice when it is low it makes alot of noise, is that the float or sending unit making that noise? Also can you guys smell the gas more when the tank is low then when it is full?

Thanks

Sending units tend to develop leaks around the gasket. Maybe that noise you hear is the little filter screen at the end of the line. Comes off sometimes.

What does it look like from tank? Mine is metal small rubber hose to metal line thru floor one end of rubber hose had no clamp on it other end had on of those squezze clamps replaced with two worm clamps nice and tight hopefully that was the smell.

Also the metal line was bouncing aganest the tank put some rubber hose around the metal at that part that might be the noise. Does that line not sucure to anything?

Thanks
