fuel in water

[General Baxter]

why does my expension tank smell like theres fuel in it? lol

Head gasket blown between 1 or more cylinders and the water jacket due to corrosion of the head?

Time for a sniff test methinks.

Becuase the expansion tank is in the engine bay, not the cap on the side of car lol lol

[General Baxter]

umm that 7000rpm new head gasket running in sesion, might be the cause of that then lol

[General Baxter]

ill take it to the garage to have a new one fitted then lol

[mikey14sr]

tis the most likely cause from my experiences, simply sticking a new gasket in will be pointless if the head has corroded though.

[General Baxter]

well i torqued the head bolts up some more just,(3 were loose) lol, engine sounds better, no more tap tap tap, no more smoke out the back,

if i squeeze the pipe from the thermo housing to the rad, and rev it, it expands, then goes back down, but i can remove the header tank cap and it wont boil over, lol
