Yeah - you own an RST :cry:

Every RST I been in/drove/owned has smelt of petrol, mainly if they have air filters, exhausts etc tho....

Only worry about it if it catches fire - otherwise ignore :cry:

On my spanking new fuel system, I get a small amount of fuel coming out of the breather when I go round bends or accelerate hard but only while the tank is full.
