Don't know if its been mentioned on here before..... but...
I noticed that there was a slight smell of petrol around the rear offside quarter on my sporting, so when it went fot its MOT I asked the garage to keep an eye open for any leaks around the tank. They agreed that there was a slight wiff of petrol and they suggested I ring my local Fiat dealer (Stonacres ....Grimsby) because they had heard that Fiat dealers were recalling Seicento's to replace the fuel tanks.
So I rang tham and was told to bring the car in the next day and they would fit a new tank straight away,completely FREE of CHARGE.
My car is an X reg and I know that they have recalled some Sei,s at least 3 years older for tank replacement.
So if in doubt about your wiffy tank its worth a try................

Many thanks to Stoneacres for a quick (free) job (y)

I got a letter from Fiat in 2000 saying to book my cinq in for a new tank and thats an L reg but not sure if they would do it now or not. Might be worth ringing them and asking.
