Stank!!

[NO_RSPECT]

Okay who here gets a pretty strong fuel smell in the cabin, when the car is turned off.

I do and I have no Idea why, the old girl who used to sniff the stuff was outta my life and long time ago, hehe

If anyone has any idea where this is coming from or why da hell i can smell fuel ....(making sure insurance policy is current incase of EXPLOSION) can you please let me know.

Thanks a lot, oh yeah and yes I have been putting fuel in the fuel tank only. learnt that lesson a while ago.

i notice theres abit of fuel fume smell if its a hot day, had a drive, switched the car off for a few minutes and then switched it back on

u notice the vapour pouring out of the fuel lid, something to do with the fuel return line maybe?

check for fuel leaks around the fuel filter/fuel lines in the engine bay

one of my first cars (which i wont say) had a leak at the fuel filter and noticed a real strong smell IN the engine bay along with inside the cabin

just a thought...

i have the same problem.

ive been meaning to get around to checking my fuel tank breather lines and return line.

i suspect thats what may also be your problem.

I had the same problem when I first got my car. Turns out there was a leak around where the filler goes into the tank. The mechanic had to remove the tank and fabricate a modification... I didn't want to ask him any more questions.

Well i gotta service this thing its been on the road like 2 weeks since licencing and i havent done a thing. i guess oil + filter, fuel filter, plugs etc and yeah hopefully it is the filter, but yeah i am sure i am going to have to pay a visit to the fuel filler and have a look there. Dang
