Im trying to find out what this pipe is for, i'll describe where it is.
Underneath the car on the passengers side, its a small rubber black pipe which runs along the edge of the petrol tank. One end of the pipe comes from the side of the petrol tank on the drivers side, it runs along the tank to the passengers side where it ends. It doesn't go into anything it just stops and hangs down a bit.
Does anyone know what this is ? Im guessing its a vaccum or overflow pipe of some sort.
The reason I ask is coz my car stinks of petrol. I know nova's smell of petrol anyway but on saturday I filled up to the top, then I was booting it for about half an hour. I pulled up and went inside for half an hour, when I came out, there was a little pool of petrol on the floor right below this pipe that I described above. I checked all the fuel lines and pipes and I can't see any leaks, and this area where the little black pipe ends is the only place where it smells of petrol ???
any ideas
Come on England !!
