Do you smell it in the cabin, only in the cabin, under the hood, at the back of the car, near the fuel fill point, with a full tank with an empty tank, when parked on a hill (facing up or down)??? ---

I would assume a small leak was created by the recent work, If you had a shop do it, bring them the car and have them track down the leak.
