smell of gas coming from 1990 chevy

Hey i got a little issue here. I own a 90? chevy scottsdsle (silverado) and sometimes when i start or turn off the truck i can smell gas coming from the engine. Theres no gas leak, and i don?t think its burning. The smell can range from where you can barely smell it, to holy cow! i think it might be too much gas getting to the carbuerator???? and sometimes when im stopped at a light it seems like it wants to stall, and hesitates. does anyone think the probs are related??

I had a gas smell for a while on my 92 and it turned out to be the fuel lines on the tank sending unit were rusted and moist with fuel. I needed to replace the sending unit, fuel lines. The tank was very rusty so I replace it also while I had it down.

I see that rather often on high milage 88 up trucks. At times I end up having to replace all the fuel lines, as well as the brake lines on them. Charles
