I can smell fuel in my cabin sometimes. My mechanic told me it is because I don't have a catch can from the top of my rocker cover the the holes are just open. I think I have a leek somewhere anyone's thought would be appreciated thanks.

your mechanic told you the fuel smell is from the rocker cover? that would give you an oil smell not a fuel. Do you run a fuel pump setup in the boost of your car? if so its more likely you have the fuel hose you are running as the smell can come through that and into the cabin.

Had that problem once. It was the injector hose's that run from the fuel rail to the injector. The injector hose is only a couple of cm long. They were perished & weeping. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
