Okay who here gets a pretty strong fuel smell in the cabin, when the car is turned off.

I do and I have no Idea why, the old girl who used to sniff the stuff was outta my life and long time ago, hehe

If anyone has any idea where this is coming from or why da hell i can smell fuel ....(making sure insurance policy is current incase of EXPLOSION) can you please let me know.

Thanks a lot, oh yeah and yes I have been putting fuel in the fuel tank only. learnt that lesson a while ago.

i notice theres abit of fuel fume smell if its a hot day, had a drive, switched the car off for a few minutes and then switched it back on

u notice the vapour pouring out of the fuel lid, something to do with the fuel return line maybe?

check for fuel leaks around the fuel filter/fuel lines in the engine bay

one of my first cars (which i wont say) had a leak at the fuel filter and noticed a real strong smell IN the engine bay along with inside the cabin

just a thought...

Well i gotta service this thing its been on the road like 2 weeks since licencing and i havent done a thing. i guess oil + filter, fuel filter, plugs etc and yeah hopefully it is the filter, but yeah i am sure i am going to have to pay a visit to the fuel filler and have a look there. Dang

      You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.

      Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge

      There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater
