Hi need your help, since having the car there has been been a strong smell of petrol by the bonnet area which then sits round the wheel arches. When the windows are closed there is no smell of petrol, when the car is driving and I have the fan on there is no smell. As soon as the car is stationary and the ignition is on its smells.

There is no smell in the cockpit unless windows are open and its stationary. There is no smell to the rear and the car has been expected over a bit and there are no visible drips!

The hoses have been changed by the engine bay, o rings and the rest of that area seems all in order.

Could it be the injectors? If so would my car be running not so great?! It's been running really well.

Car on canister? Fuel lines?

Any help would be appreciated?

Is there any gas system that can find if there is a leak? Rather than hours of checking every inch of the car?
