By "running hot" do you mean the engine is running hot, or that it runs
badly when the engine is hot?

It's running hot. It actually runs well, but I can smell it.


Could enough air be getting into the fuel lines to cause it to run lean?

Unlikely, I would think. If you have a leak in the system, I wouldn't
think it likely to suction in air and fuel during normal pump operation.
A pressurized line is running a bit above atmospheric pressure. A leaky
line will leak out, not in, when pressurized.

Unless the leak is between the fuel pump and the gas tank or a similar place inside the fuel pump.
