AndyT Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Lol nice. Good luck Ellis mate. Mine's not that bad at all, can only smell it after a hard run tbh and just thought it was 'normal'! Hopefully a new strawberry air refreshener will cover up the smell What you can't smell can't affect you right? Mate with your luck you'll turn into a 100 lepton fireball on the M1. People will think a bleedin' meteorite's just crashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Mine also smells a bit of petrol around the fuel filler, I can only smell it when the engines running and the car is stationary. Its not really too strong and it just passed an MOT so I guess it cant be anything too bad. I hope !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I get a slight smell of petrol as well when the hood is up, around the engine bay area, but cant see any sign of fuel leaking.......had it for about 2 years now, still going, and no build ups anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash its likely to be your FSE, they aint known for integrity As I guessed, but its always done it, never leaked any actual fluid though, just gives off a smell..........

Steve Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Wouldnt you get a petrol smell around the charcoal cannister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Wouldnt you get a petrol smell around the charcoal cannister? Well that is the sort of area that I get my aroma........sounds good to me, I'll put it down to that.........nothing to check really rob as someone has looked over it and no leaks no where as I said, maybe it is the cahrcol canister.......... So now I can just go back to worrying about that smell when Im at a petrol station...... ......Afraid, Im shitting it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 maybe it is the cahrcol canister.......... Yes that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
