Went to give my S204 a run today as it has been sitting unused for a couple of weeks. I let it sit for a few minutes to demist and noticed a reasonably strong fuel smell coming through the airvents with the aircon on full defrost. Popped the bonnet and there is definitely a smell of petrol. Having taken the engine cover off, there are no obvious leaks around the fuel rail and injectors. Left it idling for about 15 minutes to make sure it wasn't just a start up rich mixture, but the smell is still there. Anyone have any ideas? It's a 2013 C180 with the 1.6 turbo M274 engine.
