or raunchz, andy_k etc as they know loads!

you may well have emptied loads of fuel from the leak, £30 is 3/4 of a tank -milage -leak = £10 left... it is possable!
i may well do that.
will see though.

i dont really think i could have lost £20 worth of fuel though!
there was a fair amount still in the old pump when i removed it and not there was a bit of a puddle of petrol under the seat, but £20's worth? had only done something like 17miles since i put £20 in.

also the weird thing is that when the car is stopped on a downward hill, normally the guage goes up, but now it goes down! and when parked on a upwards hill, it should go down, but it actually goes up!

i also swear that if im hard accelerating the thing actually physically moves infront of my eyesand then goes back up a bit afterwards.
will see how much fuel i "use" compared to miles tomorrow.

who knows
