| fuel leak Hi everyone I have a fuel leak problem with my punto (1100cc sx 1997) I got out of my car the other day after driving it and noticed that there was fuel dripping from underneath.On closer inspection the leak seems to be coming from the fuel line next to the fuel tank, close to the rear wheel arch. The leak stops after a while,but starts again when i drive it. The leak seems to be coming from a rubber joint on the fuel line. Has anyone got any advice on this problem Many thanks in advance Tommyd

Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: (0) | Dont drive it and get it sorted. it will leak when driveing because the fuel will be flowing and its an injection. im not sure how dangerous it is but it sounds like a priority job. u dont want a chip or stone in the road to light any leak or maybe you could end up-->[xx(] live by the sword die by the sword live by the pen and die bored.

Thanks: 1 Trader Rating: (0) | yeah get it sorted, you should be ok and chance of blowing up is small lol oh and if you are a smoker dont throw ya cigaret out the window. serioulsy you will lose petrol wich costs you money, the petrol melts tarmac so were ever you park you will mark ground. and is allways slightly risky fire wise. 2001 Punto sporting in sprint blue with matching Mr Bump air freshner all together now mmmmmmm
