On one of my mates car, theres a strong smell of petrol, outside not inside, but we've both checked over it and theres no leak at all... looked everywhere and theres no leak!

Anyone have a guess at what i might be..?

Leak in your tank. This is what mine has done. Give it a week and you'll see something.

My gauge went 1st.
