Re: Petrol smell when cornering
As Mavizap has suggested, the drain tube from the filler well can leak. If you open the cap, at the front right of the well you will see a hole, this is a tube that runs right through and out of the bottom of the tank, it can suffer from rust that causes it to rust through, or to become detached from the well of the tank. It's happened to a number of early SVs, and seemingly difficult to trace fuel smells are a common indicator of this.
