Wouldn't have thought the filler pipe was leaking but its worth a check as well. Check the injectors and rail for leakage as well, if its bad enough fumes could be working their way into the cabin.

#9: Re: i darent smoke in petrol fumed pug Author: eddie206, Posted: Tue May 28, 2013 4:41 pm ---- Thanks guys...when i put the blowers on its worse for a second or two then better?
I know these pumps actualy and there a right b***h to loosen off from on top of the tank ...but i will see what i can do....as for the tank access hole cover im sure mine is quite loose so i will try to get some sticky back foam strip and some good tape and try and make a seal on the thing...if i cant see anything else at fault that is.
