--Hey Jay,
Gasoline fumes, Jay check the front to of your tank at the sending unit. See if there are any leaks there. This 10% Ethanol gasoline you and I get here in CT. will cause the gasket between the sending unit and tank to dry out when fuel is below 1/2 tank. Then when filled above 1/2 it will leak. A few years back I decided to store my '63's with less than 1/4" fuel in the tank. The first fill in the spring I could smell gasoline and found it was weeping at the gasket and fuel was remaining on top of the middle seam. Not long after that the weep turned into a leak and drops were on the floor. A quick fix to replace the gasket if that's the problem. I'll let you know if I di any shows up your way this summer...

Could be that gas tank in the 1963 is a leftover 1962 gas tank that the factory used up in early 1963 production?
Or the factory shifted to a different gas tank sometime in the 1963 production run?
Last I remember the 1962 B-body cars used the O-ring style.
Did you compare the filler necks from the 1963 and 1965s? Is the 1963 narrower? Sounds like you could use the 1965
filler neck in the 1963 to solve that issue.
The reproduction b-body gas tanks and filler necks listed on the swap meet items from Joe Suchy indicate that these
repros he sells fit all 1962 to 1965 Mopar b-body cars. I did not see a grommet listed but you could call him and ask.

Let us know how it goes.
Thanks,
