Featured Replies

Okay so I've noticed recently my car is pissing its self a tiny bit under the fuel tank, guessing its a fuel leak, better have a look.

After jacked up and on axel stands ;

So I decided to use the air compressor I picked up last weekend and gave it a blast of high pressure air, unfortunately I forgot to wear face mask and some glasses, wasn't pleasant.;

Once this was cleared I had a better view of the fuel tank and pipes straight away I could see dampness and my gloves were moist due to where the leak was coming from.

After a good inspection and a fiddle I found the fuel pipe coming from the tank had a little puncture I sealed it up with duct tape and have ordered a new part from my local garage.

Nothing major but was fun to get under the car and do something I love, hope you enjoyed.

Pricey p.s sorry about the Upside down photos
