Hi folks, I took my Puma out of the garage for the first time since October yesterday and now she's back on the road. Only trouble is, that I took her down to the petrol station, put £20 in, and before I knew it, it was all pi$$ing out onto the floor!
I knew there was a slight leak in the tank, but last year it wasn't too bad. I've had the car on some ramps today and had a poke about, and the hole seems to be around the inlet pipe. I had planned to drop the tank, clean it up and get some fiberglass over it as a temporary repair, but the tank is impossible to remove do to the corroded bolts, I'm just going to end up stripping them if I try any more.
So, replacement tank it is, and going to have to get a garage to fit it for me by the looks of those bolts. So here are my questions...
Are all Puma tanks the same, regardless of engine size?
Are the tanks the same as all Mk4 Fiesta's? (except diesel, obviously)
Is there any point in saving a few quid on a second hand tank in good nick, rather than getting a new one?
Anyone got one for sale?
Cheers,
Huw
