Kopite Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Was up at Kevin's last night for a night out, while driving up i noticed that my fuel consumption was seeming to be about 3mpg Got to the Tyne Tunnel and put the window down for the toll booth, nice strong smell of petrol followed.. Rob kindly put the car up on the ramps on a Sunday, unsurprisingly something had gone through the line cover and put a nice hole in the fuel line! Luckily none of it hit anything hot (e.g. exhaust) as that could of been expensive!! It's sorted now...except for the 40Ls of petrol that's on the A19 & Kevin's driveway!
