fuel leakage..maybe?

Post by docklad »

haven't had a fuel gauge for 12m. usually put 30 quid in. Put 40quid yesterday. Found a fair bit on road after a couple of hours. Overflow pipes missing, replaced but still fuel on floor this morning after short drive. Nothing before i drove but half litre after. Same thing happened 6months ago, i put it down tyo too much fuel. It soon stopped after about 30 miles. the fuel is just under the wheel arch behind the nearside.Why would this happen? over to yooo's laaa
