When I leave my 2.5 in the garage overnight and open the door in the morning I get a strong wiff of fuel. I've tried the usual things, tightend fuel cap, checked pipework, replaced filter in front of rear wheel cover, Ive also had a new tank fitted. Any help/advice would be greatly accepted as its driven me nuts !. Other than that minor niggle what a fantastic marque !, LOT more fun than my 911.

Problem is I can sometimes smell it the bedroom above the garage, which can't be too healthy.

I'm not an expert by a long shot, but how easy is it to open your filler cap lever. If it is easy try adjusting the nut on the underside. Might help!!

Mine was the same when I bought it on Wednesday. I tightened the nut so it it's now quite hard to lift the lever (also reseated the O ring) and the problem seems to have gone.

Fingers crossed!
