Hi GuyZ,

 

Just thought I'd post this after my latest experience. You may or may not have seen that my petrol filler neck tube thingy was completely rusted away. Anyway, the reason I'm posting this is to suggest that you just keep an eye on things down there as it is well hidden away and I had no clues whatsoever until the pipe was completely goosed Only a five second job to remove the arch liner at the back and check the condition etc - god knows how much fuel I've wasted cleaning the roads with it... The problem would have come if some fuel had splashed onto the exhaust and gone up in flames.... I wouldn't have been very happy then A very quick check would be to smell just inside the wheel arch just after filling up.

Right, done it!!! Replaced the filler neck. What a job - had to take the fuel tank out to get to all the bolts! Anyway, an update to above is maybe to recommend removing the liner and cleaning around the pipe. The dirt behind the liner was what caused my problem

Not funny!

 

Will be checking mine as soon as it comes back.

 

Andy,

you were lucky not to set it alight yourself

mate, how did you smoke a fag around silverstone LOL.

Harve - LMFAO

 

You are of course correct - any source of ignition with that amount of fuel splashing around would have left me zedless Could have dripped onto hot exhaust or disc brakes and whoooooomph Who remembers Jos Verstappens pit lane fire????
