Petrol Smell

Recommended Posts

I have recently noticed a strong smell of petrol in the cabin. It only smells when I drive not when at rest, anyone got any idea's?

 

I have discovered a perished pipe (see pic) anyone know what this is for? Could this be my problem?

Same here. I replaced that pipe in the pic and it made no difference. My smell seems to be coming from the blue frequency valve under the airboot, which controls the carbon canister outlet pipe. I think it's either leaking or jammed open or something.

Mine seems to do this some times. Only does it when its cold & the heaters are on??? once she's warm all goes back to normal.

Yeah it's the breather outlet hose. The electrical plug on it does nothing, just some deleted American thing.
