The nova's terrible on petrol

I smell petrol everytime i start the car and i still get atleast 80 miles to a "tenner" if its the end of the month

Billing i did 198 miles to £23 i reckon

1.2 carb

Novaboi, i say stick the intake pipe back on the front of the air cleaner to return the car to standard trim, then monitor your mpg by setting the mileage trip,brimming the tank, running it down to 1/4 full then brimming it again. Divide litres by 4.546, you get the idea.

Petrol fumes are heavier than air so often you need to be actually under the car to detect a minor leak! Those rubber hoses do perish and all traces evaporate quite quickly when you stop driving, so a leak is possible.

a tenner in my spi lasts about 20 mile, but young lead foot ;)

is the sender unit working ok ?

sorry, what sender unit?

Fuel gauge sender.

is that which is on thet fuel tank?the fuel guage does work, but as i was saying to you alex depending on what type of hill you're determines how much petrol you have lol the needle is always moving slowly, going up and down when your on a hill etc. so would that be a faulty sender?

and what could that have to do with fuel consumption?

If the sender was faulty it could cause you to think you have less fuel than you do, or w.e, and the movment of such a small amount of fuel will cause the gauge to move a bit.

I still say its nothing, its just a nova, get over it lol

but it isnt just abit that the guage moves, it moves so much that im never sure how much petrol i have in there. but it never used to do it? so its not normal?

change everything then.
