Didn't make the Q trip, but did go to Havasu in February.  While the smell was much reduced, I still had a little.  After this trip, I found a small trace of discoloration coming down the tank from the fuel sender.  Upon inspection, the new fuel sender I installed a year or so ago with the provided cork gasket, is weeping.  When I removed it, the cork gasket was completely saturated in diesel.

I bought a Sierra #64082 rubber universal gasket and replaced the cork one today.  I also decided to put a thin film of Permatex Ultra Black RTV.  Hopefully this stops the weeping and smell altogether finally.
