RE: [doc] Fuel smell



Did you get any replies to this?  I had similar, and found on inspection
that the top lip if the tank was not quite sealed.  Lift out the spare wheel
and remove the hatch (umpteen screws) to the top of the tank.  There's a
rubber boot that holds the top of teh fuel pump aloft over the tank.  The
boot is clamped around the outer lip of the tank opening by a large jubilee
clip, and in my case, the boot had obviously popped out of the jubilee just
as it was being tightened, leaving an inch-or-so section for vapour to
escape.

I repositioned the clip, and no more smell.

Hope yours is as simple to solve!
