Apparently the viton o-rings lose their flexibility below -32C. That would explain why the gas smell is so bad at lower temperatures. My brother-in-law is looking for a different rubber compound that is available. If I have good results with the o-rings I will pass it along.
I checked the fuel line and it appears fine, so I'm going to assume that it's the o-rings.
