-
Think you may need a new tank mate :(
-
oh mate I hope its not theth where in macedonia I will faund a new tank its inposible (or wery expensiv)
-
sounds like a faulty/leaking/(licking) fuel tank to me aswell :y
-
Check the pipe on top of the tank taking fuel to the front of the car. Under the carpet in the boot is a round metal disc and 4 screws. Take it off and look for the leak under there :y
-
Is it a saloon or estate?
I have a saloon tank here but carriage is just under £250!!!
-
Try the metal plate ontop on the tank, access is through an alloy plate in the boot, they have a habit of rusting ;)
-
its estate (big one) ;D in back I take off carpet and 4 ... and there was two(2) pipe and one heatand there was dray its not from there its prity cleane theth part of my car some thing else ::) and licking maybe its not the thru word I check on wikipedia RIVER is more :y for what my tank duing "A river is a natural watercourse" in my cause no watercours = dizel fuel cours I hope you understend sory one more time for my english :-[
-

-
could it be the breather pipe, or has the tank moved and broke its seal,,, if its just a little hole could you not use fuel tank seal, if its just a small hole??
-
Not many places for it to leak that wouldn't be obvious to see.

my car failed its mot on a leak from the tank. i was advised to sprinkle talc powder everywhere as it would wash away from leaking area, for me it was a good tip as it worked. in my case it was the seal on the lift pump. :y :y

Didnt quite understand when the tank was leaking, and when not, but just want to mention that my 95 estate does leak quite badly. (approx a litre in a few seconds when i fill it to the top.) Just happens when im done filling. It dumps about a litre on the ground and then no more leak until the next time i fill it. Guessing some broken breather pipes or something. Anyway ignoring it works for me:P

When I first purchased my Omega, I filled the tank and was horrified to discover that fuel was pouring out underneath the car......I found that the large-diameter plastic 'nut' that secures the pump/outlet assembly had been left loose (it needed to be more than hand-tightened), when a previous owner had replaced the fuel pump....this leak only occurred when the tank was full and the dripping then continued until the level dropped and the fuel that had collected in that area had spilled/dripped away.
Perhaps your car`s leak is from the same area/cause? :-?

Lift the boot floor carpet, under there you will see a silver plate held down with 4 screws, undo them and remove the plate you will then see the fuel feed and return and sender/pump

'Hill' would do VB, but we would use 'slope'. So we would say: "when the car is on a slope with the front higher than the back" if that is what you mean to say. :y :y :y
Bu you are getting your message across very well anyway. :y :y :y
