What is your fuel consumption like? Can you smell the petrol when the car is parked inside a garage or only from inside the car when driving?

Could be over fueling? Mine was stinking like mad until i adjusted the power boost valve, doesn't pull so well up the revs like it did but soon got rid of the smell of petrol in the car, i wondered why i kept feeling tired whilst driving :lol:

I had this problem, needed a new tank, 100 quid and an hour labour to fit it.

Vauxhall will charge 50ish to check it out and a tank from them is 380.

Personally before I paid anyone I'd park in on some dry driveway and see if you got some drips, and crawl around underneath with a torch.

Mine knackered tank was rusty on the seem and clearly for the bin. Worth checking.

Depends on the eventual problem as to what they will charge don't you think?
You can't put a price on a problem you haven't sussed yet.
