I have a strong smell of petrol in the engine bay, the cars running absolutely fine and petrol consumption is normal.

Is this anything to worry about?

Most common is a smell for short periods of time coming from the carbon filter in the front wing. If you have the smell all the time - get it checked out.

Cheers,

Andy.
