Petrol Leaking

Petrol seems to be leaking out the back of my car from the bottom, i just recently had a new fuel pump put in and it ran fine but after not driving it for 3 days i started my car and noticed fuel leaking at the bottom.

Anyone with any clue to why this is happening?

If it only leaks when it is on then it shouldnt be hard to track down. Once the car is on the pump is primed so its just a matter of following the fuel line from pump onwards...My guess is its a clamp thats loose or a splitting fuel hose....Fix it ASAP

I had the same problem when I fitted my 044. The "out" line hose of the fuel pump had split by the pump. That is why as soon as the pump primes or the car is running, the petrol spills. Open the access panel in the boot, get someone just to turn on the ignition and you should see the leak. Its a bit of a pain to get the new hose through, get someone to help you out when doing the job.
