Hi,

After filling up my W208 320 has a strong smell of petrol in the boot and around its rear end. Not noticeable around the filler cap and it disapears after 30 or so miles, any ideas please?

have tried the search button but no luck:dk:

Cheers

Will
 
I expect a split in a breather pipe. Remove the OSR wheel and take a look.
 
As above or leaking/weeping fuel pipe on entry exit to pump/filter
 
Solved

Many thanks, it was a piece of ~15mm ID pipe about 8" long that had perished, now replaced and the smell has disapeared:bannana:
