insurance?

get it fixed, or at least have a look at the fuel tank to see if it is leaking, it's not the best idea to drive around with fuel running out of it

[drift-kidd]

nah thats the thing the petrol isnt leaking the tank is fine aswell witch is why its making me confused on wat it would be, an nah im not driving it around after i could smell the petrol i was scared it was gonna blow up lol

[drift-kidd]

if no one has had this problem befor its ok ill just go to mildres i know a guy there

[squish_m8]

I had a similar problem and one of the fuel softlines had split

[drift-kidd]

ill get my car looked at and ill ask him if that could be it

[munchen]

ill lay odds that when your car got shunted one of the rubber lines split

I was thinking this. Or it could have split around the side..

I'd report it to the police.

Lol this is sooo sus, with a name like drift kid, not reporting it to the police. Were you drifting and failed it into a post?
If not then my bad, just soo sus lol :D.

It does not have to be leaking fuel that you can see, it could be split and running along the bottom evaporating before it gets to the ground.
Get some ramps, back the car up, chock the wheels and inspect the tank.

[drift-kidd]

cheers guys for all your help on wat it could be ill run my finger along the rubberline to see if any petrol had been leaking on it

an Twinky i know dose seem sus if u seen the dents it dose look like iv hit a rail or something lol but truth is iv never even got sideways befor :)

ill jack my car up today an have a look around

[blair]

Run the motor when you have it jacked up... so that the lines are pressurised :)
