replied to your other thread....


remove the front floor panel in the back ute, the fuel tank is under there, check all the vent hoses on the top of the tank, if they're perished/come off the fumes will make it back into the cabin

I forgot to mention around the fuel filler neck as well. Remove the rubber around the fuel filler neck and check. Bring a mate when you fill up at the servo and get him/her to watch for leaks in the fuel tank under the access panel thingo in the tray.

Another thing to check is around the fuel injectors also. Think that's it, good luck!

thats been siliconed down for sub.. but before that it was all checked and no evident signs of bad hoses etc

that's going to make it difficult to check it out then
