I'm always having to clean my rear quarter panel below my fuel filler cap as it is always dirty with what looks like fuel spillage. However, when filling up I never spill a drop of fuel. Can anyone help me out here? What is causing it?

Is it parked on the road ? and is that road a normal walkway for patrons of a local pub?

Are you sure you never spill a drop when you withdraw?

I know for a fact I always hit the water when I take a pee, but my EX was always complaining that I missed...But she was stupid anyway...LOL

Look in your filler cap , can you see a couple of small holes?
Are they clear?

A new cap is cheap as chips .

When you wash the vehicle, do you do that bit as well?

Always. I think it must be breather related.

on mine the filler pipe was rusted through and after I filled it up and drove on rough ground or too fast around a corner , it would slosh out of the rusty hole and through the crap seal and down the side!

or it could just need a new cap!
