Gas smell in cab and engine bay of a 1990 Toyota?

I just got through replacing 2 fuel injectors under the intake manifold that were leaking (also cracked when I took them out) because I could smell gas in the engine compartment and when you walk around the front of the truck and while idling in the cab.
I got everything back together and you can still smell gas after I drive it to or from work and park it. I can smell gas while I am idling at a stop light and through the air vents a little just like I could before I fixed the injectors. You can also still smell it after I park it and turn it off.
Do you have any ideas of what this might be. (I have a 1990 Toyota truck V6 with 120K by the way) Thanks for any and all recommendations....

I assume that you replaced the O-ring non reusable oil seals for the fuel injectors right?

Yes, the 2 new fuel injectors came with brand new o-rings and gaskets. The 3rd injector's (I only took out one of the fuel rails because it was the only side leaking) gaskets and o-rings seemed to be fine and there was no sign of leaking around it. I just put gas on the o-rings before I reinstalled them to help them slide in. There is NO SIGN of leaking right now from what I can under the intake manifold and on the other fuel rail but you can still smell gas??????
