Spitting petrol out of the exhaust??

[Ammaco]

My m42 318is is spitting a fair bit of un burnt petrol out of the exhaust. what exactly does this mean and how can i fix it? could this be costly?

[Hyperion]

is it pouring out or are you getting a heavy petrol smell when you switch her on in the morning?

[Ammaco]

na its spitting it out rightly! when i rev her it spits out a gud bit anf when shes idling its trickling out

[billgatese30]

is ti just when the car is cold first thing on a morning or all the time

[Ammaco]

well ill leave the car running for a while, but i think its only for the first 5-10mins after it starts really?

[billgatese30]

probabyl just condensation

try catching a few drips in an egg cup and try and set fire to them, that way you should be able to tell if its petrol or water

I think its coolant, see here for my updated post, any help appreciated:
