Re: [doc] Brake master cylinder removal

["jamesrguk" <James_rg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chesk around the fuel tank cover (under the car) mine looked fine, 
and then when I took the cover off there was flaky expoxy and rust 
all along the inside edge of the chassis, next to the tank.

if you have a leak it tends to run down the side of the fuel tank 
onto the chassis where you can't see it.

I would definately take a look, its only a 10 minute job to remove 
the cover under the car.
