Hello everyone, im new to the site so kill two birds with stone here, i have a completely standard mk5 fiesta 1.25zetec and i love it, ive had all sorts of cars but my little fiesta just keeps going and going.
so hello nice to meet you im Dave.
so heres my problem, my car developed a fuel leak and i am unsure of where it is specifically located.
on the rear of the fuel tank there are two hoses that come off, the breather and the filler hose, i have replaced both because i thought it was one of them that was the issue but it was not.
i have pulled the bung out from under the back seat and checked around the sender unit but no moisture there either.
i am almost certain that the leak is at or around the tank due to the exsessive amount of fuel around it..however if i drive normally it doesnt leak too bad, but when i stick the old right foot down it p****s out to the point where i can polish of 40 litres in 120 miles!
are there any other places on the tanks where it could leak from? i dont just want to take the tank off for no reason because its going to need new bolts or probably a new tank due to rotten mounts and seized bolts.
any help on this would be great! thanks
