We have a cyclone on the way so normal procedure is to fill all vehicles to the max just in case fuel supplies can't get through.
Anyway my wife took the car to the Servo last night and filled the gas tank and sub tank, next thing there is fuel all over the ground
it appears that when the sub tank became full it somehow came out of the top of the tank maybe from the sender unit.
Next thing the Servo attendant comes out and wants to call the Fire Brigade.
After a few minutes the petrol on the ground evaporated (approx 5 litres or so) and she was allowed to leave.
The car is at home now with no signs of leaks with a full tank.
My question is there an inspection cover to the sub tank (from inside the car)
and has anyone removed a sub tank or had this problem before?
In all honestly we have not filled the sub tank in over 12 months as we only keep it half full (the car usually runs on gas)
Cheers Stevo
