Is it normal to have petrol vapour / fumes in the cab or garage?

0

After the car has been standing for a while the smell of petrol may be apparant, this is due to the o-ring sealing the filler cap to the petrol tank working loose and letting vapour out, the fix is simple. At the bottom of the fuel cap there is an adjusting nut. You need to adjust (tighten clockwise about 1/2 turn) this so there is enough tension on the O-Ring to seal the cap. You will see that the O-Ring gets compressed. If correctly tensioned it should be fairly difficult to raise the tab to open the cap.
