Hello,
Daft Question here but thought id ask for some ideas.
Ive had this car a few months now, and ive been getting a strong Wift of petrol every so often,
checked tank,pipes, filter pipes in Engine bay all are Bone dry,
couidnt find nothing, ive also had 4 other Mechanics look at it, and nothing found, :?

any ideas?
The cars Mpg is excellent,so its not leaking, seal on cap is good too

ive also had a emisions test done,
CO =(0.16)
HC =14 ppm
Lambada = 1.00
garage rekons thats a + on the emisions side of it so its not emisions related or its it ? :?

Mmm. Got me stumped then. There's nothin worse than diesel or petrol stink too. Plus it keeps reminding some1 that their money is dripping away.
