Just had my bugeye done up now running 340.4bhp. But now i have a smell of petrol in the cab? I have no smell in the engine bay and i can not find a leak anywhere. Any help....... And please dont tell me to light a match to help see better lol

 

Did you or they do anything with the fuel pump fella, might be something not just right.

 

ive the exactly same problem in my bug mate, been told its due to a split in the exhaust but it stinks, ive looked everywhere for a source but nothing so far

 

Does it smell in the boot?

 

Sounds like the seal on top the tank where the fuel pump is located

 

Mines the same on a bug but only above 3/4 a tank of fuel

 

Have you checked that the charcoal filter (I think that's what it's called) has been reattached. I had the same problem, followed the lines off and realised something was missing.

 

I get it on startup sometimes

 

Sorry for late reply peeps just been busy as a lovely stag deer totalled the front of my van! Great! I did all mods my self and the fuel pump I did 6 months ago and never had a problem.

I have checked the car from top to bottom and there are no leaks everything is connected and correct. It's now bugging the crap out of me as I don't want to turn in to a scooby fireball down the A1

 

I get this one my blob wrx. Fully decated. Getting a wiff of petrol fumes in cab. I can get the smell when i keep tapping the throttle at stand still. All my gaskets were genuin one and also put plenty of copper grease to get a good sealant. I have felt around all the gaskets but cant feel any blowing.

 

Type "bugeye fuel smell" into the search on here. There are a few threads

 

there is an issue with fuel lines under the inlet manifold, as you have had the car remapped you should be running higher boost, which also increases fuel pressure and that can make this problem more apparent than if it was a std car.

Subaru do a kit to sort it, they were doing it FOC but I doubt a car as old as yours would qualify especially as its been remapped.

But I expect that will be the problem

cheers
