Re: Blowing Tank

I have a fuel tank with a leak (anyone near merseyside with a spare let me know!)

The air you hear is rushing in as the tank pulls a vacumn which is normal especially if you have been ragging round!

Also this is why my tank leaks when i have taken the plug out or when the car has been stood for a few days because it looses its vacumn

Don't worry all cars pull a vacumn - are pressured (unless they have a swirl tank) but thats another matter!!!

Will.
