After a year or two of chasing a terrible fuel smell after a drive (like, the next day, and for days afterward), I found a tidbit on the FAST EFI forum about a guy who discovered that Summit Braided hose is vapor permeable, and not really compatible with Ethanol in fuels (it says compatible with gasoline on their site, but not ethanol specifically as compatibility), and that for street fuel, you need to run Teflon.

I changed mine out, and the smell is gone.

Good to hear. I learn from everyone I have contact with (good or bad!) especially other mechanics. It always makes me shake my head when I see the commercials touting the benefits of E10 (I cant remember the 3 bennies (iirc) at the moment & there might be, but it sure causes us alot of grief.
