I always get a strong smell of petrol through the air blowers when I start my Si. Anyone know if this is normal? I changed the fuel filter a couple of months ago and the hoses all seemed fine then. Is it likely to be the charcoal canister or whatever it is that filters out the smells?

u cud have a look? its behind drivers headlight.. its all a mystery to me though, personally id put somat behind the vents (my new idea!!)

its gona be like a small filter for each vent with perfumed meshy fabric.. so it catches all the shit that flies out at u and nearly blinds u
