Fuel Leak!

[syebba]

Thats a good price.

[David Nock (RIP)]

Hi guys, My dealer at JCT 600 Wakefield (Mark), was up for supplying anyone who enquired. He has already supplied one to another FB owner after me.My price of £173 included VAT and shipping, but you\'d then have to get it then to your home. Part No. on my paperwork for 1985 Series 3 is FA5442110; I would guess they\'re all the same for all 1st gens, later cars had a drain plug added.
JCT600 tel is 0113 231 9793. I know thats a Leeds No., but JCT route these specialist spares calls to JCT in Wakefield.
Out of interest, my tanks still on the garage shelf. I\'m running on half tanks of fuel till the weather picks up.
Plus there\'s a diff swop looming first!

[David Nock (RIP)]

It is the left hand side towards the back of the car , it all looks undersealed but the seem feels a but ropey!

Yes, its the seam at the filler point. There\'s a ledge that gets dirt and water spray that you cannot access unless the tank is dropped.

i believe the tank shape is different on the s1-2 and s3 it maybe becasue of a larger diff? and the change may be why it only seems to be the s3 affected

Right didn\'t know that, thanks Mark, anyway the Part No. I gave is for a 1984/85 Series 3, which I think is what Brian is enquiring about.

The tanks are different.
Mazdatrix has diff part nos for s1,s2 & s3 tanks.
S1 tanks no longer available.
Get your new s3 tanks while you can!!!
Anybody hear that the EU are thinking about restricting the use of cars over 10 years old!:eek:

DEADLINE 18/03/2008

"Several EU proposals across the years are dangerous to the classic car movement. One that has been under consideration is to ban the use of cars older than 10 years. Similarly, Edinburgh City Council is considering the banning of cars over 15 years old from the town centre. These, and similar, proposals directly threaten the classic car movement, and encourage the manufacture of new cars, with the attendent environmental issues of sourcing raw materials, manufacturing, distriuting and scrapping the spiralling supply of new vehicles."
