I have a 96 P Cinquecento S, which I have been assured has had a replacement petrol tank after the recall. However, I have noticed a strong smell of petrol inside the car that seems to be coming from a small hole to the lower right hand side of the petrol cap - in the plastic next to the cap itself at about the 5 o'clock position. The hole almost looks like a small drill hole in the plastic. I'm not 100% sure that this is the source of the leak but petrol is certainly coming out of the tank at the cap somewhere. The smell is strongest after a sharp left turn with a half full tank (I can't fill it up completely or the smell is over-powering) when I guess the petrol splashes up to the cap .
Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know the exact reason for the replacement of petrol tanks on recall by Fiat? And could you recommend a better solution than the blob of blu-tac covering the hole at the minute!!
Thanks.
