How unlucky can i get ! Today myself and Marky Mark changed my tank due to the normal bung leak. And what do you reacon happened when the juice was added ?
Yep the bugger leaked
Im now on my 3rd leaky tank, dont smoke near the raider if you go down the ace next week !
Time to sorce a internal alloy tank i think !
Your annoyed mate, you weren't the one under it 3 times!
One thing i have to ask, anyone know if there is a 5 tank that come without the bung? Will cure the problem easier i recon.
you could have had mine but gingers just beat you to it for his raider
So where was i then ? i reacon its your fault this one leaks anyway, seems do did run over it !Originally Posted by Markey Mark (BD)

always hear to helpTrust you !
If thats what you call help i dont want or need any !always hear to help
but saying that if you did have a tank it would have been good to see Mark up at your flat again !
You are unlucky paul...If its possible, test your next tank or repair by filling it up with water when the tank is out. just drain it out well
im suprised he didnt go dizzy fitting that tankIf thats what you call help i dont want or need any !

Now whos the tart !Shut up you tart!

How big is the bung and where is it? I am sure i have looked at mine and not seen one, unless its topside of course?Your annoyed mate, you weren't the one under it 3 times!

Look up the side of the tank on the drivers side, half way up in the middle is a Yellow bung. God knows why they put it there but it always leaks from there, i'm sure i've seen a tank without it before but not too sure if it was off a gt or a campus.
Its on the right hand of the tank its about 1 inch in diameter, and is yellow if this helps.
Check out your campus and see if its the same !
i took my tank out cut the yellow bung off, and took the tank to a plastic welding company they welded a patch over the hole. then replaced the fuel sender seal with the repair kit from renault. got it pressure tested at a radiator recon company up here tanks now good as new alot cheaper than the £300 odd quid that renault wanted for a new one . i'm going to be selling the 5 soon if i got a decent offer i would sell the tank.
why dont u just seal it wiv a sealent ?
i did and so did my bro... has been fine ever since...
Has done on all the tanks, all leaked stillwhy dont u just seal it wiv a sealent ?
i did and so did my bro... has been fine ever since...
ive got a non leaking tank 4 sale on the classifides atm
thats all well and good as long as you dont plum it in
What if you test it with petrol, then drain it into jerry cans?
Now you come up with the good ideas ! i was told the 2nd tank was good and the 3rd came off my old raider, sods law i guess !
back to only putting ten litters in at a time now until xmas comes and goes !
ive got a tank in the garage if your passing you can collect it and try it FREE of course
Darn it me got leaky tank aswell, is it common for the 5's? I got a new tank which I aint put on yet, but still baffled.
Yeah fairly common, I think hydro has just been unlucky. I've yet to experiance this problem
you can if you want mate im always happy to share !
lol....its a pain in the ass when you fill up with top £££ fuel then come back to the car after paying and seeing a waterfall of fuel pouring out under the car!!
Where is the common fault found on the tank??
when removed the other tank from the other 5 I saw so many possible reasons.
Have a read further up the thread mate, there's a description of where the bung is on the tank in one of my posts.
damn this thread just reminded me that my tank is leaking too. i had forgotton all about it.
edit it was my clio that leaked
That's exactly what I did - saves alot of messing around aswell!i took my tank out cut the yellow bung off, and took the tank to a plastic welding company they welded a patch over the hole. then replaced the fuel sender seal with the repair kit from renault. got it pressure tested at a radiator recon company up here tanks now good as new alot cheaper than the £300 odd quid that renault wanted for a new one . i'm going to be selling the 5 soon if i got a decent offer i would sell the tank.
Ideal cheers guys!
I still got a nice mint petrol tank on the car
WowI still got a nice mint petrol tank on the car
it is if you want to think that Paul wants the petrol tank and my car attached to it so can cut out on the comments as we have been talking via pm about itWow
Need mine to go first ! plus the only real reason im interested is because i know who has done all the work that you have had doneit is if you want to think that Paul wants the petrol tank and my car attached to it so can cut out on the comments as we have been talking via pm about it
I have binned good tanks as they have been taking up room.
The campus tank has no bunge in it, But no baffle either!! So when you go around a island with less than a 1/4 of a tank on board and floor it, 200 yards up the road you lose fuel pressure for afew seconds which as we all no is not good when on boost + that chav in a saxo you have just nailed will come by you waving
I changed my tank due to this to a GT one and guess what' it leaked
So got to arse about again taking off fuel pumps/filters, hand brake cables etc to repair it, GGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
The last 5's with the 1390cc engine and single point injection use the same tank as a gtt as far as dialogys says... I'm hoping so anyway, although I'm gonna have to take the tank sender out now to check the baffle is there and put my mind at rest.
I'm just looking into this, i bought my car and the lad told me it will only take £15 of petrol, so it sounds like the same thing. I take it its the bung that sits back in the tack about 2 inches.
This is going to sound silly but will filling with water to check it not give me issues when i put it all back together?

You need to make sure it has fully dried out first. in this weather it can be a pain. in the past i have welded tanks, before doing this i ust to flush them with water, then after welding them leave them out to dry off in front of a rad, but with a plastic tank its a bit harder !
If it was in a dry hot place the water would heat up and air off. then there would be no fear of any other problems. also it gets rid of any crap thats in the tank which in my 5 it loves to block the idel jet !
Dame you !
