Would this split hose cause petrol smell when using fan?
Apologies for the noob question, I was on a long drive yesterday using the fan, No ac as its broken so just the fan. And ocassionaly a semi strong smell of petrol would enter the car, it would come and go but no smell when fan was off.
Car has been off and parked overnight smelt a petrol smell in this area and located a slightly split hose on either side, of what I think is the EVAP system? Would this be the reason why? Can anyone advise? It's the hose that attaches onto the nipple.
