What this Petrol Smell?
#1
On starting the car (MY02 WRX 4k miles) I often get a petrol smell. This passes very quickly, but I would be interested to know what it could be?
Also noticed this a couple of times when I tried Optimax in slowish traffic. I haven't noticed it since going back to Esso SUL.
Any ideas?

Could you post the smell on here ? it might give us a better idea
Edited to say: seriously though its probably just a cloud of unburnt petrol that blows past the car depending on wind direction. When started it will be a bit rich until it warms up, on cold days you can see the cloud of fumes generated which can engulf the car.
