Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all, hope someone can help. Had a good day in the car yesterday, parked up for 30 mins or so and when I got back to the car I could smell lots of petrol fumes around the front/cabin area.
Went to the engine for a quick look but nothing coming from there. Any ideas?
Sorry to be vague but not got much to go! Roy
Just under three quarters full. I also noticed it more when I was in the car stationary ( engine on) waiting for a mate to come down from his apartment. I parked up in his underground parking bay and could smell it from the front end of the car/middle of the cabin area.
I had a similar situation, got it looked at by my garage and they couldn't find any leaks, over time it went away, it did seem worse when idling with the window down.
Just in case someone picks up on this thread in the future, I suggested to Roy that he check the 'O' ring in the fuel filler cap, as they sometimes crack and break. In his case, it isn't that.
The carbon canister in the front wheel arch (below the filler neck) is supposed to collect the fumes. The canister is purged by a pipe to the inlet manifold that has a solenoid valve in the engine bay, which opens for a period at startup. If you have a diagnostic tool, it often throws up a fault code when the valve fails, so it might be worth checking. The fault will show an abnormality in fuel mixture.
If that doesn't show anything, I agree with the above suggestion - wait to see if it goes away by itself.
