Technical Smell petrol

[Westies on tour]

Hi all,
The last 12 months I keep smelling petrol not all the time but probably once every time I get in my car.
Engine hot or cold all weather's.

I have looked around the engine around the fuel lines but cannot see anything visible cannot smell petrol?.

All you good people have any ideas please.

Have you had any work done in the last 2 or 3 years..? Fuel pump..or Filler..??

Also look for the evapouration cannister and associated pipes. This may be in the rear wheel arch but I dont know. Thats where it lives in the Panda. These things can fail. i have had to have two replaced. This gadget catches tank fumes and feed them back to the engine so there are a set of pipes associated. Usually if there is a fault it would cause a fault light on the dash but at an early stage, who knows.
