Here's a short film about my Lotus Elan +2 Zetec Spyder filmed in the beautiful hills of South Wales:

Lovely video. Check the smell of petrol. It's normal if the car is standing as the petrol tank breather pipes, towards the back of the car, can emit fumes. I block them off when the car is in the garage. If it's coming from the engine bay investigate further. I've seen a plus two go up in flames because of a petrol leak. Jim

Hi Russ,

We know each other from Instagram. I have just sorted the breathers on my +2 as the garage always smelt badly of petrol due to large diameter pipes and vapour-syphoning. I've just posted a brief description of what I did on the Fuel system page of this forum, check it out and contact me if you want any advice or some of the bits that I have left over.

Cheers, Jonathan (JJ66)
