Hi
Noticed a stain on the bottom of tank as if slightly leaking, hard to be accurate about where is coming from but looks like from top down the back of hanger and then staining around about bottom of where hanger strap is, or from down the front of tank and blown back by wind.

Actually no smell of gas (unless I drop one!). It might be when engine is running and car moving perhaps, then dries up by time it has been sitting.
If I remember rightly is there a common fault with the pick up pipe rusting on omegas?

Remove the plate in the boot and find out ;)

somebody once advised me to sprinkle talc powder in the area where I suspected the leak to be & the leak would become obvious by washing the talc away in that particular area. it did too.

Why would a petrol tank smell of gas?
