my air mass went didnt show a lighton the dash and was causing a very low fuel consumtion

1.2's are known for bad fuel consumption.

i ahve got a 58 plait mazda 3 atm and that thing just does over 200 miles to a tank driving it sensabley(sp) my old 14xe would do that on about £20

Surely I'd need to have a full tank to check if there was a leak on up the tank tho?

I'd thought of sensors but thought they would have brought a light on on the dash...maybe not though?

Go around the car with a lighter.

Na, just park on a bit of clean ground with the engine running, follow the fuel lines form what you can see of the tank forward.

But on the other hand it could be a problem with a fucked sensor or the like.

Hmmm...

How would I go about checking for a leak? Like if it was high in the tank?

when i had my leak i could only smell it while it was running cos the petrol moves cos of return pipe if you get me

only when its running that is..

Well i got the car a year ago and when youre behind it you smell a petrol/fumy smell but thats bound to be expected...not a pure petrol smell like

can you smell petrol whilst outside the car?

Wondered about that but I don't think so...(will keep an eye tho)

A friend mentioned if the cat had died...but would this give bad economy?:boggle:

you checked for a leak?

Anybody:boggle:

Really isn't good, nearly died when i saw the fuel gauge lol

lol thats bout what i get out of the 2 litre in the corsa lol

My 1.2 16v B has started to drink like theres no tomorrow and thats not even driving hard....245miles to a near full tank:(

Any ideas why folks??

Thanks:thumbs:
