Fuel smell help needed

[jesfirth]

My daughters Mk 2 stinks of fuel and has done so since she recently bought it. I have just removed the boot liners and have tightened both ends of the large fuel filler hose in the boot which were really quite loose. I want to check the lines to the fuel pump under the parcel shelf. The plastic grommets fixing the shelf carpet though are not the centre pull type used in the boot and I do not want to damage them when I remove them. Is there a trick to it or is it brute force and ignorance?

thanks - my wife is going to love me using the cutlery (-:

Right. The hoses in the boot were very loose. I tightened them and that sorted that part. The cabin still smells. The 90 degree clip fuel hose connecter on top the fuel tank smells. Where do I get a new one form?
