Is my gas boiling?

Is my gas boiling? I've been having trouble with fumes lately and they seem to smell like lacquer. I've noticed that if I drive around the car all day the fuel pressure seems to drop. Is it possible that my fuel pump is getting so hot that it's boiling the gas in the tank? Does anyone know what the problem might be and how I can fix it.

Sounds like something with you evaporative emissions is messed up. Is the car throwing any codes? I would think it would be highly unlikely that the pump is making the gas boil. It would be more like the charcoal canister cant dispose of it probably.

Nasty N8, I have a walboro 340 and as far as I know I do have the EVAP. I can only smell the fumes after I have been driving the car all day. Other than that I don't smell it at all. The smell is a very strong nasty smell almost to the point that it scares me to smell it for to long.
