Jim,
I had a similar problem with the AC fuel pump - after a couple months, came out
to the garage to again smell gas - pulled air cleaner - carbs were dry. Then
checked the pump - wet! I had rebuilt the pump, as part of the overall
restoration, with a TRF kit. Apparently, TRF had some bad diaprhagms in their
rebuild kits. They replaced the diaphram, but another 5qts of Kendal oil was
diluted.
