Filled the DeLorean up with petrol, the hose went click
(like it does when you are nearly full), I just wanted to round off
the 34 quid to 35 quid (It clicked a few times at this point.)
Went to pay, as I left the cashier said is that your car with water
gushing out the bottom (In all, it looked about 3 pints of fuel
leaked from the front/left hand side of the tank area), I ran over to
it and could smell it was petrol. People offered to push it out of
the garage to a safe place, but knowing that a good push would crack
may plastic rear fascia I jumped in and raced to the nearest garage
(Halfords).
When I got there it wasn't dripping from underneath at all. The guy
said they don't deal with fuel systems (because of insurances), but
he said that it just sounds like I probably over filled it and it's
probably just the overflow kicking in.
I didn't know Fuel Tanks had overflows !
PLEASE RE-ASSURE ME THAT DELOREANS DO HAVE THIS OVERFLOW FEATURE
GUYS ????!!!
HAS ANYONE HAD THIS HAPPEN ???
So far there are no apparent leaks onto my garage floor (not a drop)
and the guage still says almost full.
CAN I SLEEP SAFE ?
