Hi there,

I have noticed a slight fuel smell - you smell it say standing a foot away from the cap after having just driven the car. If the car has been parked overnight, you need to get close to the cap with your nose. There is definitely some form of vapour leakage.

Any advise on diagnosing this would be appreciated.

Hanif.
