Petrol vapour going inside....

[mrevo]

Hi alls,

Actually i got a probs which is the petrol vapour going inside my car since the air con is turned on. It can be smell only when the car stopped for a while at traffic light etc. I have done phisically inspection but never found the uncovered holes above/near the fuel tank. Does anybody knows what is going on?

it normal not only come from the petrol tank but also can be from your fuel host which at your engine compartment...

Check the fuel intake and return piping as well as there should be leaking there as well...

I'll be demn... Just happen that I take a ride on my friend car... His car got the same problem... The petrol fume is noticeable when he turn the a/c on... when I switch off the a/c & roll down the window... the fume still there but not as strong when he turned on the a/c... Will ask him to send the car to the mechs...
