Fuel in cab

[marcdon]

Guys over say the last week I have had a fuel odour in the cab and it is getting worse and worse. It gets stronger when i go down hill and around corners with pace. Have checked fuel lines and filter etc nothing wet or fuel smell around there. I am maybe thinking the return hose in my filler has a crack in it???? I know this was a problem with older models. Doesn't smell in the boot just in the cab but i can never find where its coming from?
the car isn't using anymore fuel than usual.
Its starting to worry me abit.

Make sure that your fuel cap is on tight, turn it two or three times while pushing it in. Don't just turn it till it clicks twice.

Definitely the fuel cap.

After it clicks a couple of times grab a hold of the outside diameter of the cap & turn it a bit more to ensure a good seal.

Otherwise somehow the fumes vent into the boot & recirculate through the car.

thanks guys. i have come to the conclusion that it is definitely the fuel cap. filled it up today and it was loose when i unscrewed it and i make sure i tighten it up around 5 or so clicks while holding the outside and pushing on the cap so im guna go buy a new cap tomoz just to be sure

I've just been wringing it's neck for the last 5 years & it hasn't been a problem. Save your $15 !
