strong smell of fuel on startup!

[akz786]

when i startup the car on fast idle for at least first 10 mins you can smell strong fuel from the air vents! - any ideas where i should start to look and what the cause me be?

TIA

I had this problem for months dude. It sucked.

Check the breather hose that goes in to the air filter box to see if it has come loose/ off. I was told this would be why, and it was.
