The lazy baxtered who have been mucking around with the fuel pump couldnt be bothered to drop the tank
Then to make it worse they have used some sort of mastic to cover up the destruction :(

I did this to one of my fiestas but only because it wasn't driveable and i needed the panel from the fuel tank for my other one, was easier than dropping the fuel tank but didn't matter as it was going for scrap. :rolleyes:

Any car i wanted to keep i would drop the tank

still need to update this sig
