I have noticed a strong smell of petrol inside the car recently. It doesn't happen all the time; it is worse when the engine is idling, e.g. while standing in a queue of traffic; and my impression is that it is worse in cold weather.

I can't see any trace of a leak, and petrol consumption doesn't seem to be any worse than it always was.

Any ideas, chaps?
