Fuel leak
« on: 15 February 2005, 11:59 »
I put ?40 of fuel in and in half a day ive only got half a tank left after very few miles  :cry:  Plus there is a very strong of petrol! Hopefully it is just a split in one of the fuel lines. Am i ok replacing with some plastic lines that you get from any car parts place? Hopefully its not the tank!

It turns out its the solid line that comes off the bottom of the external pump on the underside of the car. Hopefully i can get one from vw and replace it at the weekend. Im stuck using my mams mx5 at the min. How gay do i feel!  :sad:
