Smell Fuel ?

[BATTS91]

Little problem i cant figure out.

If i leave my e30 locked up over night all windows closed sunroof closed the next day it stinks if petrol inside ,if i leave sunroof open it seems to keep the fresh air in obviously ..

Now i cant find any leaks in lines at all but one thing that is wron is the inner arch on o/s/r needs repairing but i cant see that having any effect :/ ?

While typing this ive just thought maybe the fuel pump ? Could this be possible ,ill be having a look tomorrow . Any suggestions apart from scrap it are welcome lol

You need to pull the back seat up and have a whiff near the fuel pump areas, the O rings perish, easy fix.

Also i found that perished fuel hoses under the bonnet also let fuel smells in through the vents below the wind shield, when the car is running of course.

My brothers touring does this,it stinks of fuel when you get in it.Had a look underneath and fuel in stub on the tank has a hole in the weld and leaks when tank full.
