Petrol Smell Causing Headaches

[marcus1970]

Love driving my cerb but am becoming high as a kite on the smell of petrol that seems to be filtering its way into the cockpit. I know that Richard Hammond described sitting in a TVR as 'Like sitting in a canoe factory' but is the petrol all part of owning a supercar. Do Porsche 911's smell like this or is it a'TVR thing'?

Have you decatted?

Before my decat I didn't have a petrol smell, afterwards i now get a trace when i pull away after standing in traffic for a while.

I'm guessing your exhaust isn't totally sealed.

Comparing a German highly developed and well engineered car to an all out engine in a bucket is not a good thing! Two completely different ball games
