    Default Can smell fuel

    Hi all,

    I notice after a drive the VE or so for an hour after I turn the car off and I can smell fuel at the rear of the car. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. This is only after a drive for an hour or so, short drives I don't seem to have the smell.

    Is there an easy way to check the fuel lines at the rear.

    Any thoughts where I should start, would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Jason

    Yeah I smell it near the rear door so could be near the fuel filler area.

    I have access to a compressor so I could get air near there.

    Get someone to pressurize the tank with the air gun/blower and a rag and have a look around the rear of the car.
