BigMoistyturbo Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 As in the title. I have a strong fuel smell coming from my car after it's been run for a bit. Fuel economy is getting worse so I can only presume there's a leak? However there's no puddles or anything....ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashpoint Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 If the car is hot then there on't be any puddles as they would have evaporated (spelling) Had the same problem it wasn't till i ran the engine with the bonnet open that i saw the fuel jetting out the return line and hitting the cam cover. As it was hot the petrol lasted about 2 secs before it disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMoistyturbo Posted June 1, 2004 Author Share Posted June 1, 2004 I've had the bonnet open and not noticed anything like that. It's going for a service next wednesday, hoping they'll find the cause then, as I'm also dropping a bit of oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
