smells of petrol when i boot it
 

i have a 95 wrx

it stinks of petrol when i floor it, any ideas.

does the fuel tank seem overly pressurised?

my wrx was doin that before it blew up,but only inside the car!

yes mate it is really pressurised, sounds like a dump valve when i take the cap off to refuel

bttt:wonder:

Carbon canister might be full of ****e.. The black cylinder thing at the front near the PAS pump, pull the pipes off it and pull it off its post (it just slides up wards).. I bet its well and truely coked up.

My tank hisses at me to when I go to refill, and I get petrol smells fairly often in the cab.

I removed my carbon canister but there is no way of getting into it unless I break the seal at the bottom which I am not sure I wanna do!

If I blow thru the top pipes I can feel the air flow coming out the bottom so I guess its ok?

My 2001 model bugeye sounds the same, surely it shouldnt be full of guff in 4 and a half yrs?

Ricey

Well I got into the canister - see other thread.

Cleaned filters but they were not that bad really, no blockages of any kind.

MY pressure in the tank has always been there but the smell of petrol only started appearing a few months ago????

Also have a look at the accumilator, the silver tank on the back right hand side of the bay.. The unions on the hoses can leak.

cheers dudes, ill check it over in the moring :)
