Ive had a bad smell of petrol in my 5 for a couple of weeks now so i thiught id have a look today.
I took the cap off to reveal the gauge sender unit and there is petrol on top of it a mm or so ,
with the engine on a hear small bubbles (maybe sucking).
Then when the engine is turned off i see bubbles in the fuel coming out.
I did over fill it not so long ago (i mean right to the top).
Aux tank has been removed and campus filler neck fitted (years sgo and no problems since).
is there a seal on the sender unit ? , im thinking when ive overfilled it its blown the seal out.
I dont get a psssssstt noise when i take the fuel cap off.
Is the 5 gtt fuel cap braethable?
is there an open end breather pipe somewhere?
Any help welcome , thanks.
