New member fuel smell issue
I have a 94 touring. Fuel pump was dead so I replaced. Now I have a fuel smell inside the car but no leaks. Are you supposed to seal the sheet metal pump cover? I also found the gas cap o ring was broken in half so I bought a new one

Yes, if you are talking about the cover for the fuel tank and not the access plate.
93-95 Rx7 Fuel Level Sensor Gasket (HG30-60-962)
You should also check your fuel hoses. Make sure they are secure and are not cracked

If you can't find the leak then take your car to a mechanic now. Do not drive the car until you fix the issue.
I had a similar issue with my first FD. One day I had a faint smell of gas upon start up but it would go away in about 15 sec. So I took it to a mechanic, they could not find my leak and said that I shouldn't really worry since it went away and to come back if the smell got stronger. Well a week later my car caught on fire (hence my first.FD) so don't take fuel smells lightly.

I wrote his advice off in that second. You either know these cars or you don't. I'm no mechanic but I know enough to realize a fuel smell isn't something to **** around with in an RX-7.
Zbbt, check the fuel pulsation dampener. That was my problem. Don't go zoom zoom boom!
EDIT: lol NOW I read the whole thread. Glad you found the problem.
