I broke down and bought both the replacement plastic plug ($5) and the $95 (with tax & shipping, $84 list) genuine Kent-Moore SPX fuel pump wrench tool. What a beast... that tool has a 1/2" socket and is very overbuilt, probably so they can charge an inflated price.
At any rate, I dropped the tank again, torqued up the fuel pump lock ring with the wrench and reinstalled it. Did not need to remove the fuel lines to use the tool. (I did not install a new fuel pump o-ring this time since I did replace it a couple months ago when doing the pump.)
I gauged that I previously had the lock ring torqued to about 40 lb-ft using the screwdriver and hammer method. (And I felt like I really beat the heck out of it too!) I torqued it up to 55 lb-ft (75 N-m) with the official tool and my torque wrench and all is well. So far, no smell and all is well. I am optimistic that this will take care of it.
