Hi All, I am not very happy after doing what I thought was a sterling job on Friday night and Saturday morning to the C basically putting her all back together. On Saturday mid-day I went over to the mainland southern meet, car was fine run well mpg was roughly rite, could smell a little bit of petrol but nothing major, Then drove home fine again parked up and went out for night as you do! Got up Sunday went to start the C doesn’t want to run had a quick check of the C, All seems fairly normal alternator fine battery fine still sparking so then it randomly started when it had started as soon as noticed a massive smell of petrol, Anyway looks like it was dripping from the fuel pressure regulator so I took this off and changed the seal nipped it back up and not good! On priming fuel absolutely pissed it out with quite a bit of pressure same place! This was after changing the seal any ideas please as I’m pretty stuck now will investigate tonight to have a better look at the fuel rail. Sorry for the long explanation can anyone please help Thanks in advance Andy.

iow_corrado_g60 replied to -Neil-'s topic in General Car Chat
andy there's no way you can get 500! my average m.p.g is like 22.8 and for me to 500 miles i'd have to fill my tank up at least twice and i dont even really cain it at all just short trips! so the mpg never gets up to a good reading! -

150 miles to half a tank thats brilliant going im luck if i get 230 to a full tank i think thats only 12gallon tank thou! vr6's really! that much more economical! -
or do 150 on the autobahn for a few miles im sure that'll see a few more degrees!
