• Primera - petrol fumes 19 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  our 96 1.6 primera develops petrol fumes in and around the car but only when the fuel tank is less than half full and the engine is hot. With a full tank there is no smell. I have checked for leaks and found nothing, with or without the engine running. I have noticed that there are two pipes under the bonnet apparently coming from the fuel tank, one enters the fuel filter and then carries on to the injector system - the other goes into a large canister and then connects directly into the inlet manifold under the injectors.
• super unleaded fuel 2 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  Also is it worth trying this in my 1994 single point injection 1.3 Mini Cooper? I realise the engine is basically a 40 year old design with modern fuel injection and because of this I am reluctant to try it; however I would still be interested to know. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

• Mazda 6 - Fuel & the fuel filter 13 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  2. To what extent can the on-board computer record? Does it record bits and peices like when fuel was topped up? if the car hit red on rpm etc? 3. Under a recent and further examination of the car, the fuel filter was removed and the liquid contents were taken away for testing, now - i've got a diesel car but the fuel filter had a smell of petrol in it - what can cause this?
