If I put more than £10 of petrol in the cinq it leaves a puddle of petrol when I park. Is there an easy way of locating the leak, without getting petrol everywhere and would something like JK Weld (or whatever it is called) patch the hole up?

Need to drive to Chester at the weekend (240 miles each way) and I don't want to keep stopping on M1 for petrol (especially don't want to pay their prices!!).

well petrol leaks can be a bitch as petrol tends to seep along routes and edges.no easy way bar getting under the car and looking.pertol patch etc can work trhough replacing the tank is a better option.

If it is leaking from where they all usually leak then it will be easily seen with a simple look under the car, always the seam on the two halves of the tank goes.

Look for a cheapy on Ebay.
