smells like petrol?

[Burgy]

So, I'm on my way to durbs, chilling in the back cause didn't feel like driving. My mate is driving and when he puts foot, i smell petrol quite hectically..

Should I be worried?

Tia!

Burgy, yes you must have it checked out. First see if there are no obvious leaks of petrol under the car....stop and rev the car to check for any spurting leaks... Also check the fuel cap it maybe worn out...

Fuel smells in cabin can also be dangerous for passengers and drivers in the long term...like being on a constant high and you dont know the reason...

Maybe him accelarating so fast is pushing you back so far that you actually push into the petrol tank... :mmm:
