Im hoping to look at this tomorrow but i am after some pointers from the experienced ones as i will only have the morning to try and source some parts.

Past week i have noticed a strong fuel smell in the cabin, ill just bullet point what i know so far.
- Strongest smell is when pulling off, cruising i cant smell anything
- car wont start first time when cold, usually a prime of the key it will fire up straight away. When warm, it fires up as normal. (guess its loosing pressure?)
- Open the bonnet and it smells badly down by the aux belt. Following the fuel line about half way down the block it meets some black sponge (in a recess) on the engine which is soaked in fuel.
- I'm not noticing any difference in fuel consumption or performance (return fuel line?)
- Flooring it close to redline the smell is very very strong!
