[mk3pete]

every time i go and start the car up all i can smell is fuel and its even worse wen i turn the vents on
any ideas or common places where fuel might be leaking

Check all the obvious places like fuel lines, fuel filter etc. You may have a small split in a hose etc. If you can't find it easily I'd take it someone, you don't mess about with leaky fuel problems.

Entry point of the fuel rail, and/or where the crimp in the feed pipe is.

^^^^^ Wise words.

They also leak from where the rubber hose joins the plastic hard line and drips inside the chassis channel and drips from under the car.
