When I turn right petrol spills out of the petrol tank! It's more of a dribble and only when the car has a full tank. Are there any of the lines on that side or anything like that? Overflow pipe or whatever it's called. Or a hairline crack in the tank?
As always cheers

id say putting oil in your petrol tank is probably a slightly bigger problem then the spillage

maybe a problem with the filler neck tube which connects to the tank as if you've got a full tank there will be some petrol in the filler neck and maybe right up near the cap if you brim the tank, leaks from here would be possible as once its all dribbled out it stops im presuming ? if ya get me lol

I see what you mean. But no it's not like that. It comes from the underside of the car. Only when I go round a right hand bend, straight outta the tank

You can get to the hoses with the tank in place. It's a squeeze though and you'll nee a torch.

Mine leaked fuel when I first got it Turned out to be a dodgey seal on the fuel pump. Might be worth checking that on yours before you go dropping the tank out
