Smell of petrol - Matt - 16-02-2016
Just changed the manifold fuel rail and swapped injectors over, and now I have a smell of petrol.
I can't see any leaks. No puddles, just smell of fuel.
Fuel lines are tight. Bit of line on fuel return where it meets the rail is a little fraid, but no wetness or anything. Struggling to track down where it's coming from.

Just let it air for a while. I remember mine doing the same, smell seemed to linger but all fine.

Yeah smell is there, but doesn't seem to be running any different. And can't see any leaks :/

Sure it'll be fine matt.

check the injector seals for leaks not just the pipework if you have disturbed the rail, also the joints on the O/side iner wing flow and return

Yeah I've checked all round the injectors, where it meets the manifold and also where it joins the rail but can't see anything. The smell isn't so obvious now I'm hoping its just spilt petrol from where I took it off in first place
