Hey people, just got back from driving my feroza.. been getting gassed out with some sort of petrol leak into the cabin..
i saw a thing in the FAQ about fuel leak, but cant figure out what on earth they are talking about.. is the thing on the engine u have to fix or is it under the wheel arch, on the rear of the car? under the car?
PLEEEEEEEEASE help me soon, as I now feel all dizzy and dont want to keep killing my brain cells with petrol smells =(

Its inside the cabin, rear right hand side.
Basically where the fuel filler cap is on the outside, on the inside of the car at that point.
if you take off the lining inside you will see some hoses etc... check them for leaking, busted seals, cracking...

also check the 1 way plastic valve as well. if needed, seal it with some kind of plastic glue or superglue. should fix ur problem pronto. its a very common thing.

I like the fumes. They fill me with a feeling of self worth and confidence. I can do anything when I'm fumed up!

I had a similar problem when I went to Landcruiser Park, but the fuel was running down the cahsis. It had me stuffed were the fuel was coming from because i just replaced all rear fuel lines.

I had a look the other day and found some tubes and a little black box thing, everything looked ok, but i guess i could seal it off with some glue anyways...
what is this 1 way plastic valve? where exactly is it located? I dont remember seeing anything like that...

Rip the plastic box out and connect two of the outlets together with a piece of tubing. Connect another piece of tubing onto the other outlet, them submerge the whole thing under water and blow into the tube- that will show up any cracks. Mine was cracked but I couldn't see it until I did that test.
The one way valve on mine was fine- but you could test it in a similar way.
