Hi i'm a newbie!
My sons Cinquecento has run out of fuel (not for the first time!)
But it still reads that it had 1/4 tank. (OK so unrealiable fuel gauge!)
But it runs out when the car is parked?
When we put more fuel in ( 3 cans full) it wont start. Even when towing, or pumping accelerator.
It has done this before!
Anyone have any ideas please?
I thought perhaps it has got some dirt in the carb? (Would'nt have a clue how to check this!
Or airlock in the fuel system?
Have taken off fuel line pipe, and got my son to suck it ( he says the petrol tastes yuk!) so there is fuel to there!
Really concerned now as he wants to borrow my car if we can't get his started.
Please Help.
