Hey I bought my self a corsa sri a couple of months back now,

But i have a problem with it

When i have been out and about in it, then let it stand it smells realy badly of petrol but this only lasts for 10minutes or so.

Im a joiner so have no idea about cars, the only thing i have done is put an exaust on and a k&n induction kit, it was smelling of petrol befor the induction kit was put on as some people said it was that.

Any help suggestions to what it is would be great

Thx..
Richie..
