Diesely waft!

Post by Mountain »

I seem to be getting diesel fumes in the car of late.
Definitely diesel and not oil or exhaust fumes.
-
I seem to get a waft when I accelerate aggressively....which is..er...most of the time.(gave all my sensors a clean and it make a big difference!)
-
I can't see anything obvious but I'm thinking it might be the fuel return line.
Any ideas?

Is this since you replaced the water pipe and rad? Any chance you could've knocked one of the diesel pipes when doing that?

Certainly worse since then. I'll have a good look around today!
