Only last summer and only in very hot days it started to fuel smell inside and it's always when the aircon is on .. happened couple of times and then it stopped in all winter ( nothing at all ) , and just couple of weeks ago when it started being hot and I used the aircon for the first time , the smell came back again for couple of days , weather cooled down and the smell is gone. It didn't fuel smell when I took it to the mechanic and he didn't find any leakage !!! Have any one gone through such a problem ? I will appreciate your help ?

If you do, no fresh air is being drawn into the cabin, so a fuel smell from the boot will works its way into the cabin. I'd plump for a split/perished breather pip
