Hi.

Another day, another problem. Confused

I've been wondering why my R19 1.4e SPI drinks more than it used to. I get only about 250-270km from the 1/1 tank to 1/2 tank. It used to go about 320-350 with that amount. Checked the engine bay. Nothing. Went to see the fuel tank.

The tank was a bit damp around the inlet hose joint. But the dampness reached clearly higher point in the tank than the top of the inlet hose. It seems that there's a leak somewhere. Might be the seam between the top and bottom part, or not.

Is there a way to fix this? Does it necessarily need welding (wouldn't wanna do that)?

Thanks.
