fuel solenoid valve in front wing.

Since tifhrning the little screw up in the centre of this valve to stop the ticking noise,I have a petrol smell when the window is down.its definitely coming from that area,so is it possible I have upset anything.

If its the valve I'm thinking of
Its part of the emissions control.

If the pipes are connected tightly and still the same
I'd try winding the screw out a turn,

They're normally abit ticky anyway, something you shouidnt hear with the bonnet
Closed.

That's the one lozz,just a coincidence that I can smell petrol now after messing with it.

[lozz]

Did you wind it in too far,

Wind it back out abit at a time and see if the fuel vapour stops,

I've got solenoid on a Citroen I'm breaking
I'm pretty sure there the same

Iwill post it out to you if needed
