Since I got my fuel pump upgraded I was noticing a fuely smell generally after turning off the car and today my mate noticed it was dripping fuel from underneath the car, but its only for a minute or two. So I'm guessing its pressure related. Has anyone else had this problem? I've done a few searches on how much stuffing arround it is to remove the fuel tank and I dont particularly want to go down that track.

Any help is appreciated

there will be something wrong with the seal or fuel line at the top of the tank where the pump is accessed from. it is very easy to do. there is a thread in the DIY section about how to change a fuel pump. it will give you all the info you need to access the area and check what is going on

Ive had the same problem as you a couple of months ago.

I noticed that my fuel was leaking on the tank side. But it only happened once. I left the car for a day then started it again didnt leak.

Took the fuel line off underneath the car and it was so old it started to crack. Replaced them and vuala no more dripo

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
