does your 3W smell like petrol when in the garage ? My garage smells like a pitlane since I have parked the car in it... I would not care, but I am curious to know if your cars smell as well..

No petrol smells with my car. Suggest you check for small leaks that evaporate before they make a pool of fuel on the ground.

May pay to check the clips on the fuel pipe which goes from one injector to the other. It is common for the "compression" clips to allow a fine leak.
Has happened twice to me, usually noticable by a fine mist of fuel on passenger ( RH Drive) screen. Only happens when fuel pressure is up ie whilst driving.
I have used fuel line specific hose clips and they have no problems
good hunting

I get the petrol smell on occasion, but not all of the time.

No petrol odours in my garage. Just an annoying smell of leather...

No smells from the car, but I occasionally damage the air quality when I bend over... definitely not a petrol smell though.
