Right just started my car for the first time and got it to idle Ok after a little playing with the throttle stopto help out the ICV but then noticed a small patch of liquid on the floor half way down the car, this was petrol and it looks to have come from above the fuel tank on the pass side and run down the front of the tank looking from the front of the car.

is there anything i should have changed around? as ihave left the fuel lines and everything assosiated with them in the same possition/side of the throttle as before??

Any one advise?? :D :cry: :cry:

Possibly a leaking fuel tank, thats exactly how i noticed mine was gone. Check round the fill stub for rust.

It was on the opposite side to the fill stub from the top, but i think i have sorted it now, i had the fuel reg set so it was always on the vacum side of the charger now its on the manifold so it gets boost and vacume :D
