I smell fuel

Post by RLG »

Drove to work this morning not very far got out of the bus and can smell fuel there's no leaks from what I can see
Is it common for any breather pipes to split ??

Good chance its the breathers especially if the smell gets worse after had braking or cornering.

No one will see the interior either without one.
Tank removal/refitting is fairly quick, you just need to read the wiki for the tips on fitting

Cheer up chap, your interior will come soon enough, A T25 is for life not just for the summer :D
