The seal around the fuel pump and sender unit in the top of the tank leaks and only shows when full tank! Easy to find and fix. Normally only happens on new tanks but there can always be an odd ball tank!You could remove the rear seat base and then on the passenger side is a big plastic disc that covers the pump. remove that and have a look for fuel around there. The dealer should get you in straight away as its crap runnning around in a car like that!

WOOOHOOO. Highest performance cars in the world loan cars are.They never use oil or fuel, rev to 10,000rpm, and you can fit 15 people into them.

Nice. And for the first time came away from the dealers with more fuel than I left it there with.Does anyone else, other than us champion brisbanites, have dealers that have their Service Department open till midnight??
