I smell gasoline

From doing a search, I have come to the conclusion that it is probably an o-ring around the fuel pump. I can't find any visible leak in the engine compartment, and the smell is strongest right after I have filled up the tank and the car has been sitting for awhile. I'm going to pull the floor up this weekend and see what I can see. Assuming it is this fuel pump seal, whats the quickest easiest way to fix it? Can I buy a new o-ring or do I seal it with some sort of silicone? In the mean time, is breathing gas fumes going to kill me? I roll the windows down when I can, or crack the sunroof open. The smell seems to dissapate once i get moving anyway.
