« on: 15 April 2005, 08:45 »
I have a petrol smell coming from the engine in slow traffic. It does'nt happen all the time but when it does it becomes quite strong. Any suggestions?

Widnes is a heavy chemical town, has a jelly factory, and generally stinks really.

Glad I no longer work there.

I have worked in a few polythene factory's but in the printing side of things, so imagine, polythene mixed with solvents  :undecided:
