My fuel tank corroded up badly where some monkey bashed an exhaust pipe into it while fitting the fecker. Made the tank leak, but there were no drips or a visable hole - just a strong smell of fuel... | |

iv never noticed it while engine aint on, i presumed the smell was comin from the exhaust:boggle: where does the petrol line run underneath the car n what diameter is it roughly? i checked all the air feeds today at work n couldnt see anything obviously loose/ worn/ fecked. are there any common places that wear, that i ought 2 check? | |

Where's the smell coming from? It must be leaking from the fuel lines if you care only experienceing this while the engine is turned on. | |

I would say you have got a leak somewhere in the engine bay.My dad had the same thing on his car and it was a leak at one of the fuel lines. | |
