hi guys... i need help once again....
everytime i fill a full tank of petrol.... with out it spilling out in the first place... the petrol leaks out. i think it happens when i drive it hard as well.. because once i get out and check the tank i can see petrol marks running down my side, and when i checked the petrol cap thing, the rubber thing that surrounds the petrol filling thing, its all ripped and stuff, could that be the reason? the petrol sill thing, not the actuall cap itself
Petrol leaking!!!

I normally do my motorkhana thing on 1/3 tank, but the other day had a good old go on a full tank. The organisers there said I was losing fuel out of the filler cap too.
So the fuel definitely gets flung up to the filler cap under hard manoeuvering... so if your rubber seal is buggered then it will come out.
...and I guess it means my seal ain't that good either.
Must take a look!!!
