over fuelling........i get this but my engine is goosed. But i reckon thats my problem and is leading to overfuelling quite badly.

? its a very strong smell almost like a leak:eek:

Check your fuel filter line? may be getting a leak?

Mines is quite strong but i wouldnt say its a leak to be honest.

The clips are known to leak, especially when cold, there are a few, start at the fuel filter and check them, will require removal of the throttle cover.

It sounds as though your injector seals are leaking and fuel is leaking from the fuel rail. After a run, shine a light down to the top of the injectors to see if their wet. You will obviously have to keep the engine running as the fuel evaporates quite quickly in that heat, which is what you are smelling. A new set of seals are about £20 but it is plenum off job. Your fuel economy will drastically improve tho'.

cheers i'll have a look tomorow

tightened all the hose clips i could see took it for a blast and still smells couldnt see any traces of fuel around the injectors either?
