Hi guys looking for some advice on my landrover as i have never owned one before so its all new to me i picked it up from crawley on saturday and drove it all the way home to liverpool the landy seemed to drive faultlessly all the way home but all i could smell was petrol in the cab is this normal for the v8 petrol, A fuel tank has been fabricated and is in the boot of the truck so could this be why the smell is so strong? i filled it up just before i left Crawley and it costed into the service station about 50 miles from home i know the fuel tank is a 50 ltr tank so is it running rich if this is the case is there any tips for the engine over fuelling as it absolutely intoxicates you when driving any help would be much appreciated thanks in advance
