I often smell petrol fumes when in my GTA turbo, especially when in slow traffic. It's not unusual to smell petrol. Road tests of my car when new reported smelling petrol fumes when doing repeated slow speed runs for photography. Always worth checking your fuel pipes on the engine though, just in case. Leaking fuel pipes on the engine are not uncommon and should be fixed immediately! :wink:

Check the condition of your tank and check for holes. The gold car I broke last year was riddled with them due to the fact that someone tried to fit a CD multichanger in the front :lol:

I had a similar problem with my Red Turbo which had a blocked breather pipe similar to this one:

I then had some holes drilled in my filler cap as well to boot :roll:
