Thanks, I will look at these things. I got sprayed with diesel when I put the nozzle into the tank, that doesn't usually happen?

No fuel cap. Thanks I will take it in, cheers, Martim.

Update, garage says no 4 injector is leaking, have booked it in, will cost about £150 (if the injector comes out easly!).

Dare say it is, but that doesn't obviously explain your symptoms

I'd look into the evaporative control gubbins and see if its clear.

I have the opposite problem, in that most of the evaporative control gubbins isn't there, Smell of fuel if the petrol station yoof overfills..Gentle cornering required for a few miles.

I have a cannister I took off an abandoned Toyota Corolla,which might fit, but havn't got around to doing anything with it.

It’s a diesel. Probably not a good idea to run it on petrol.

Don't diesels have evap control these days? Surprised. I just assumed...which of course one should never do.

Clearly the fuel is less volatile, but OTOH it is a petrochemical and probably not especially good for the environment, likely contributing to ozone and photochemical smog.

I suppose relatively minor compared to diesels other emissions though.

It was the fuel spill pipe leaking apparently not the injector. Slightly cheaper to fix.
