Petrol fumes in '92 940

I think that I may have made a mistake here.
Sold my old '85 740 and took the locking petrol cap off to use on my
'92 940 2.3i. Now when I drive with the windows or sunroof open I get
a strong smell of petrol. The cap seems to fit ok but it is vented, is
this likely to be the problem and if so, where can I buy a new locking
cap in the UK??

Thanks

Have you tried the original cap that came with the car to see if the problem
persists? Fuel smell can also be a sign of leaking injector seals or an
exhaust leak.

Good luck,

 

I am afraid that the original cap went onto the 740 and I kept the
locking cap. I drove the car for 100 miles from the seller to home
with no petrol smell, and it has only started since changing the caps
over.
I can find US web sites that sell spares but not in the UK. Any help
please ?
