My '99 1.2 GLS has started to stink of petrol inside. I've had it to 2 different dealers and 3 independent garages. No-one can find anything wrong with it.
Does anyone out there have the answer?

it could be you fuel line may have a hole, has ya car been drinking petrol, and seemed jerky at times? Mine was like this last week, and saturday night started stinking of petrol, ended up having a hole in the fuel line, replaced the pipe and alls fine and dandy.

If its not that then i dont know why
