    Mine stank of fuel for a few days a week ago , I assumed it was due to my down pipe blowing badly, it turned out to be 2 injector seals had perished bad and injectors were leaking! dangerous both under the bonnet and for the engine itself! new seals all round and job was a goodun. Check yours mate!
