Smelling Petrol

pubcrawler · 19th November 2008, 08:48

I have noticed the last few mornings that I can smell petrol in my CTR? Has anybody else had this? I am not driving hard just poodling along town, but it is more noticable on a cold engine......

Could just be the fuel-air ratio being richer (more fuel), to assist the engine in the cold.

Any doubts though, get on to your dealer.

I'd get on to the stealers about this one.. ASAP..! Then again..

You may have been standing in a puddle of petrol at the last filling station when fillin your Civic up. Then got in and wiped your feet on the drivers mat so now your getting a wiff now and again...??

I had a very strong smell of deisel every time I came to a stop when on a long journey. I took it to the dealer, and they said they couldn't find a problem but had "tightented up everything". I nevre had the smell again.
