Still smelling petrol inside??
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi have a problem with petrol smell in car its worse when let standing eg when coming to it in an morning. The smell seemed to becoming from the back. So i changed the tank, put a big brever on and kept the old one as well, gasket glued the rub gaket round the fuel pump, and also i brought some bonding silcon and did all the places you can think aswell as round the cap so it shouldn't be coming in. Though i haven't sloved the problem you can't smell petrol the same as you could special while driving has got alot better. I did the conversion from spi and kept the fuel lines i was wondering is this anyway anything to do with it. Any ideas greatiful cos i'm running out them fast.

Thanx

replace the rubber seal on the tank sender these only cost pence and check all your hoses again

Check the bottom of the carb,the rubber seal goes rock hard(especially if no heat sheid) and leaks straight onto the exhaust

Are you filling the tank right up to the top when you leave it? I have a fuel smell if i fill mine right up, i put a maximum of £12 in each time

try spraying all joints your worried about with a can of gloss paint ,just a light coat , then look at it in the morn ,if its leaking then youll see the paint crackling bubbling up .
