    840 - smell of petrol from engine bay

    Hello all,

    I have started to notice quite a strong smell of petrol whilst driving the car. Upon further inspection with the hood up, the smell seems to be coming from the front left section of the engine bay.

    Has anybody experienced similar issues or got any thoughts on what the possible cause could be?

    Cheers
