I can smell fuel when I have my fan on in my MK4 Golf. My air conditioning unit has be broken for about 12 months which didn't bother me. But over the summer with the hot weather I have had to have just the fan on circulating air around the car. But after about 5-10 minutes or so I get a slight smell of petrol through the air vents not too much but enough to be unpleasant. My dad told me to put the AC button on anyway even though the AC was broke just to see if it made a difference and it did it just meant that u didn't start to smell fuel until about 20 mintues into your journey and it wasn't as strong but still annoying. Do you have any suggestions what might be causing it? And whats the solution to fix it?

Cheers
