hi guys n girls
I think my celica is not very well atm, this is my problem if anyone could help me.

Everytime I get out of the car after I have driven her I get a strong smell of petrol and it seems to go through a lot of fuel even if I drive like a granny but I cant see any leaks.
It is a GT4 95* model.

any help would be great cheers

no just smells once she has been started.
I will have a close look at the pipes and will order a new filter and hope that works.
cheers for the advice, much helped smile.gif

No worries, a few more suggestions:
It could also possible be the Charcoal Canister, If it has been over filled at some point...

OR it could also be caused by the Choke, when you first start the car the choke causes more petrol to flow through the engine and it runs and smells very rich.
Make sure your choke is free and not jammed and is disengaging when required
