Why do i smell fuel when i start my opel corsa bakkie 1.4 fumes coming from exhaust smell off fuel

SOURCE: timing marks on engine

Use the timing marks on the damper for the crank and bring it to 0 on the cam there are marks that correspond with a mark on the head. Look on autozone dot com and put in the year make and model then look at the free repair guides.

Sounds like restricted exhaust--most likely bad cat converter.

SOURCE: Hi I have tried starting my Opel corsa bakkie sport (2007 model) and the engine cranked but it doesn't take (it just won't start). So I just want to know what can the problem be?

Have you checked for fuel delivery to the engine? Test the fuel pressure, the test port in located on the engine in the rail/pipe that supplies fuel to the injectors, the fitting looks like a large fill stem (AKA Shrader valve) on your tires.

SOURCE: my opel corsa utility 1.4 bakkie isnot starting. sounds like a flat battery but when I check my battery I get 12 volts

Test the battery for load not volts. Use a load tester. If it falls below 9volts under load replace battery. If the battery is older than 3 years old replace it. A bad battery will damage the alternator (full field condition).
