Peter Scott’s note on Planet Soarer is right, the petrol leak is coming from the vent pipe on the petrol tank. But cutting this hose during compliance is not required. Only the retarded compliance companies that don’t know how to modify the petrol intake of a Soarer will cut this pipe. Take your Soarer to Tony Brown at Adrenalin on the Gold Coast (07 5591 2444) to fix the petrol leak permanently. Or call around to your local Soarer specialist and they will fix it for you. Cost is about $150.

Number 1 culprit for fuel smells from what ive seen is the fking stupid nozzle restrictor put in as part of compliance - the design of the ones that are brazed in such as mine is poor and if the brazing is even slightly dodgy vapours and even raw fuel can leak out from between it and the original pipe
Either replace the whole inlet pipe or seal the outside properly with metal putty and leak test
Another example of compliance rules making a car worse than it was before
