Strong Petrol vapour smell

[PZsurf]

Hi, Has anyone out there had any experience of a sudden strong smell of petrol in the rear nearside/filler cap area. I suspect the breather pipe? as no trace of any leaking fuel..My 2007 V6 has done 80,000 miles total, half of that after import, mainly between Cornwall and London. Its a super engine and had never missed a beat.

At the risk of starting a second thread, I have being running Michelin cross climates tyres for over two years now, at 37psi and they have been superb with minimal wear😄... I highly recommend them despite the extra up front cost.

Do you stop filling fuel at the 'click' or do you continue to top off the fuel? 

 

You may be overfilling and getting fuel into the carbon evap system.

Thanks Chris

That's a strong possibility I do tend to fill up to the brim when doing a long trip.. Will stop doing that! Hopefully that will sort it!
