fuel smell peugeot 205

I had a 205 once that suddenly burst into
flames. After the fire brigade put it out
I found that the metal pipe going into the
fuel pump had worked itself loose.

Thanks for the replies. WE checked the pipes but vcouldn't find
anything. The smell is strongest at the back near the cap, but also
insde the car, and we think it may be the rubber sleeve inside the
body is letting fumes from the filler pipe into the car.
The breather system seems a bit odd, in that there is a plastic bottle
just above the filler cap. Haynes (bless em) dont say anything about
this, or indeed much at all about the petrol system.

Hopefully it wont blow up! We just drive with our heads outside the
window at the moment!

check all the clips on the pipe,are tight and not just done up with out
fitting onto the inner pipes.
