chris_c201 Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 Alright Folks, Last night i was driving a long to my gf's mum's and when pulling up outside the house i got quite a strong whiff of petrol, since that the smell is coming and going.... Petrol consumptoin seems normal, car is running fine, had a look under the bonnet and nothing visible although i can still smell the petrol in there...... Any idea's, its like someone has it on their clothes or something (but i don't!) Cheers Chris.
fai17 Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 Is your car decatted???? If it is ......it's quite normal to have the smell of optimax in your car when idling....You should smell mines!!!!
chris_c201 Posted December 26, 2005 Author Posted December 26, 2005 Nah, no de-cat.... its still got all 3 at the moment (not for long mind) Is it possible that maybe a gasket or something is away on one of the exhaust joins? Although if it was most noticeable around the engine bay surely it would be one of the first gaskets and as such i would notice a power drop due to lack of back pressure (may be talking rubbish here!)
