[QUOTE="teejay, post: 181233, member: 51"] 2 things i can come to conclusion 1. fuel lines not connected properly on either side, if you have the 1 side fuel sucking, i think becoz of the connection maybe loose, its just sucking air and part fuel, the fuel then gets evaporated into air - smell in the car......suggest you dont smoke at all.....else.....kaboom 2. tubing for the evaporation system not connected or connected wrongly - this can be the work ofan idiotic mech assistant if not done proper either way, you should not be smelling fuel at all as the fuel tank and fuel system should be under pressure - rubber in the petrol cap keeps the pressure tight better check it out or you could open up and see whats happening, if its a loose hose you can tighten it and give your mech a whack on the head.......
