after driving i get a strong smell of petrol outside the car,especially at the back near the petrol cap,any suggestions why?

ive also had a decat downpipe fitted recentley and petrol seems to go twice as fast

ANYONE HELP ME

 

Check for leaking underneath. The tanks are like a saddle going over the prop shaft and black in colour. see if it is wet or signs that it has been wet (petrol evaporates very quickly)

gav..

 

thanks ill take alook tomorrow.

 

Did you have the car remapped after the decat? It could be running rich if you haven't.

I've recently had a decat and even with a remap the car still smells of petrol more than before (even though it isn't running rich because my lambda's fine).

 

not had a remap yet still concidering it.
