just lately at random times i have been smelling petrol while driving (windows down on hot days.)
i first noticed it after parking my car and going to go inside and smelt it then started getting a slight wiff every so often while driving.
Im assuming it is my car.
after i first noticed it and started smelling it while driving when i pull up i have a sniff around the car and cant smell anything.
any ideas where i should start looking?

Replace the fuel cap, fixed it for me and seems to be common. Dunno why the smell gets in with the windows down but it does!
