I decided to give my air filter housing a new lick of paint.
On dismantling the housing I discovered the air filter was seriously filthy, and quite black. There was also petrol (based on the smell) pooled in the housing.
I don't recall this ever happening before, so is this normal or an occasional thing that can happen?
I haven't driven the car much at all in a while, but the last time I admit I accidentally flooded the engine, could excess petrol have got into the housing that way?
Thanks,
Chief
