Posted 15/08/06 06:39 AM Share Posted 15/08/06 06:39 AM On the weekend, one of the hoses on the fuel pump burst, and instead of pinging it's guts off, it backfired like a friggin shotgun.Long story short, I fixed it, well thought I had, I am filling up this morning and a puddle of fuel is welling around my feet! WTF, I had this sick feeling in my stomach, I thought I had f*cked it. I drove home (only 2k's) , well the smell inside the car, with the windows down, FMD I was as green as my car, and when I stepped I out, I nearly fell over.A quick call to Nick and he said the seal maybe f*cked, then the fireworks went off in my head, when I took it out, the seal dropped into the tank, and I thought, I will get that later, well dah, I forgotted. Moral of the story, petrol is good for your car, not for your health. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27743-dont-sniff-petrol/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

shockF6 Member 478 Member For: 19y 7m 28d Location: Melbourne Posted 15/08/06 11:08 AM Share Posted 15/08/06 11:08 AM its even funnier the next time you fill her up after "fixing it" by putting the seal back in and see another 1/2 a tank run down the drain make sure the seal hasnt stretched out too far, I only got 3 goes of pulling the pump out before I had to replace the rubber gaskit. luck its only $16 from ford if it is stretched Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27743-dont-sniff-petrol/#findComment-421867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
