Ok so I think I might have found a bit of a leak on the tank side. :bang:
Filled it up last night when it was dry outside and when I got home I noticed a smell of petrol. Looking under the car from the front of the tank there was a dampening indicating a seapage from the tank.
Anyway I started to undo the bolts to have a better look and the seeping turned into a drip. Not good
Anyway i tightened it all back up and checked it later and the tank was bone dry again. While checking I also noticed a large dint in the front bottom of the tank
From what I can tell it only seems to drip under pressure or when full, so i'm thinking it's a new tank time.
You guys any ideas what else it could be, common faults ect.
Also is there any tip's and tricks for an easy tank replacement.
Thanks in advance guys, this likely explains the constant 33 mpg i've been getting.
