I am getting a fuel smell when I pull up in the afternoon, but only on a hot day. Nothing leaking, fuel economy really good, so I put it down to the charcoal canister letting of bit of a smell in this heat.Dan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38956-petrol-smell-in-boot-and-cabin/#findComment-583572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
