SLOW FUEL LEAK

Help Please!

I have a slow fuel leak from the fuel filler pipe, the car is in the garage but i have a combi boiler in there

I could smell the fumes in our downstairs loo as this is next to the garage.

I've put down a bucket and thick cloth.

Question is……………..could it ignite and blow up my house??? :(

If there's an ignition source then always potential - it's the fumes which are more likely to go up than the fuel itself.

I'd play safe and get the leak seen to asap, maybe consider leaving the car out of the garage on the drive?
