Last year it was a rust leaky sump.

This year it's a rust leaky petrol tank.

Much more exciting.

£25 worth of petrol dripped away since I filled it up last weekend.

Deep joy.

That's about 75% of the value of the car gone, then.

How easy is it to get hold of a scrappers fuel tank and swap it out?
What kind of vehicle are you driving? - I've never come across a leaking PT - you sure its not a tank seal or fuel pipe problem ?

[Arturo Bassick]

Could you not just weld it up?

I've never had a leaky sump before.

I've never had a leaky petrol tank before.

What sort of baked bean can are they making this stuff out of?

Baked bean cans don't leak.

I've never heard of a Seicento, but judging by the name and the shoddy petrol tank, I'd guess it was Italian.

I'd have to rent some oxyactetylene bottles.

arc weld it

Nah.

Known problem*.

£83 for a new tank.

*Except by me.

Just drive it round-and-round Tesco's car park until somebody backs out of a space in front of you.

Yesterday I had to patch my central heating flue with fire clay and baking foil where the "stainless steel" had corroded through. All part of life's rich tapestry for old cheapskates like us.
