Default fuel pump replacement question

My fuel pump just went bad and I'm planning on replacing it using the method listed in the sticky by cutting the hole in the floorboard on top of the fuel tank but I was wondering does it smell like fuel when your done and start driving it around or is there something you can cover it with? if it doesn't smell then i dont care if its covered.

No odor at all. I used silicone to seal mine.
