My fuel tank has begun to build pressure so when I open the cap it blows out a bit. thought it was the breather blocked and did nothing about it. Drove the car today and parked it.

Then went to garage 1hr later to find a pool of petrol under the eng. bay! Leaking from a slight crack in the extractors (dripping off the still pretty hot pipes)and a gurgling carb. Took off fuel cap to a hiss and the gurgle stopped. But my eng. had filled with petrol, took off the extractors and manually turned the eng. with petrol gushing out with each rotor pass to the exhst port. S.loads of it.

Pushed it outside (in case it blew up) and it started, coughed a bit 'n ran fine! Just hope it hasn't ruined any seals may change oil too incase it got in there. How about that eh

 

Not MAY.


Change the oil. If there is gas in the oil then the oil will be thinnned out and very well could kill your engine the next time you run it.
