^Well with the exception of this dude who says he's changed every seal....I would say, no that is not normal. You have a leak. lol. Putting the privacy cover up doesnt fix shit.
Can you smell gas while the car isnt moving? Sniff around to see if you can find where its worst...change any seals or o-rings in that area. Inspect all the fuel lines. Pull any gas tank access panel that has a gasket and change it.
My DSM used to reek of gas when I would start moving, I found out it was the sending unit gasket. I took it out and cleaned it up real good. There was some garbage stuck to where the gasket sits on the tank. Sanded that down, greased the gasket lightly, reinstalled, and bam no more fuel smell...
