Petrol smell

Post by Phil Brook »

My 16600 TGS smells badly of petrol when the vehicle has been parked for a short while. There is no evidence of a leak when the engine is going and I can see no leakage on the ground beneath. Any ideas where I start to look for this?

Whereabouts does it smell front, back, left or right, this can help to track it down.
My first suggestion might be the petrol tank filler pipe and hosework as these can let vapour but no actual fuel escape.
