·Hello,
My car was parked for
Hello,
My car was parked for the winter last Friday. I added sta-bil and totally filled the fuel tanks and imediately parked it. This would be the first time it has been parked with full tanks since I have owned it. So, yesterday I noticed a black puddle about 4" long under the car directly under the back of the passenger side door.
Also- I think my gas tank is shaped a little differently from this drawing. This attachment is from the Ferrari UK site for my exact car. I think mine has a large bulge pointed towards the rear wheel about the size of a footbal. I could be wrong but that's what I remember from last night. I will post a photo tomorrow.
After smelling the liquid (fuel) and jacking up the car to take a look from underneath, I can see the fuel is leaking from somewhere near the top of the right side fuel tank and mixing with the body coating and making the black puddle. I took off the right rear wheel, and wheel well and looked around. I couldn't really see anything obvious. The leak is down the front of the tank in the 1" gap between the tank and the body. You can only see it from underneath.
I also felt with my hand the hoses on the top of the tank and all felt dry.
So- I'm going to check for leaks tonight and proceed with recommendations.
What do we think? Thanks in advance.
