Try checking your wing tanks for weaping leaks around the inspection  
plates or near the aft lower tank skin and rib intersection. the fuel will  
puddle on the bottom of the wing root fairing and the smell will get into the 

cockpit.

Due to an odour of fuel in the cockpit I  suspect that the tubes or pipes 
to the fuel selector are not sufficiently  tight. I have unscrewed them 
and cleaned them and reattached. This has not  fully solved the problem. 
Is there any way I can clean the tubes or pipes  thoroughly and then seal 
them tight to avoid a leak? could the problem be  with the fuel selector? 
I cannot see any other source of fuel  leak.

If I am not mistaken I have an FS20 Type 3  valve.

Thanks.
