Fuel flowing out my Mk1 Cabby
jus a quicky. my car has been off the road for the past two weeks to undergo some much needed running repairs (the electrical gremlins :twisted: ).
Anyway to cut a long story short its now running again and i needed to fill up my petrolium, so without further adoo i went to tesco's to fill up. I put 38litres in the car (trying to squeeze as much in as poss. i then drove about a mile down the road to halfords to buy some new mats and when i returned to the car i could smell petrol and when i looked underneath i could see a steady stream of petrol pouring out from the centre near the fuel tank from a pipe that appears to go no where!
After about 5mins it stopped, but i now appear to only have a 2/3 to 3/4 of a tank left. as i say it appears to have stopped now, and it may appear a dumb q but does anyone know what this may be???????

these senders are readily available and should solve the problem.

Cripes Danny…..
Have you tried spraying a little WD40 round it, leave it for a while and try again ????

Had to super-glue it when I put it back on as a tempory fix, until I come across a good 2nd hand one.
