We also get petrol smells in the B Max avery time we refuel. I already have a blood disease called neutropenia which I attribute to petrol exposure in a previous job. A normal person's nutraphil count is 2.7, mine went down to 0.2! is now improving at 0.7 , so the last thing I want is petrol fumes every time we refuel. If I can't sort the problem out soon we'll have to get rid of the car. My first suspicion is that abomination, the 'capless' filler. As a design consept Ford are making one **** of an assumption that this thing is actually sealing. I've checked the drain hole and pipe and it is clear. Also I have removed the side liner in the boot and cannot see how fumes can be getting in but they are. At the moment we only fill to 3/4 full but the fumes are still there and quite strong.
It looks like SKEV may have the same problem. Has anyone been there and nailed this problem? I get a feeling its not that rare, Dave.
