For the last few weeks there as been a strong smell of petrol when driving the car.. Now the light with the spanner over the car keeps coming on... But not staying on.. Any ideas what could be wrong with it anyone?
Thanks in advance

First thing to check would be for fuel leaks and also fuel cap .If not that , is engine running on all cyls ? If not , unburnt fuel may be what is setting light off , causing smell .You may have to get it scanned to see what is triggering light .Other possible causes , like exhaust / cat .
