A search for the Carbon Cannister should have a couple of threads that describe the evaporative emissions 'problems' associated with fumes from the front wing area.

An acute nose to tell where it comes from is an advantage?

Please check where the fuel pipes join the fuel rail (high pressure side)there have been problems with fuel leaking from the fittings, also check the injectors all 8 where they exit the fuel rail,also as previous post mentions the carbon canister,good luckcool
