2 hour drive to view the car, got there love at 1st site.
Done all the usual checks looked underneath check oil,check water, tires etc etc
Had a 5 minute test drive all was good to me anyway.
So gets it insured, tries getting it taxed 1 hour later no luck something wrong with the logbook or maybe the site and there shut cause of it being saturda!
Anyway screen shot the message from dvla and I could drive the car with no tax.
So gets in the car all excited 2 mile drive to get petrol on t
Filled up with petrol on my way home, into the the 1hour later I can smell petrol thought nothing of it.
Just over 2 hours later goes to my mums as needed toilet. Stays and has a cuppa and shows mum the car, she said I can really smell petrol, goes out to have a sniff yer really strong smell and it was getting worse and couldn't see anything underneath that was leaking.
So 30 mins later I starts the car up, gets the wife and mother to check underneath and guess what it's ****ing out of petrol like a hose pipe, turns the engine of it stops.
So can't move the car, calls rac waits up my mums till 11.30 they can't come out till tomorrow so rac pays for me to get a taxi home.
Sunday next day/up mums at 7 30 in the morning they said they will be there at 8 o'clock, didn't come out till 3 o'clock.
So rac finds the fault within sec a split fuel filter I thought it was the fuel lines or the fuel pump.
Rac said me and the wife are very lucky that the petrol didn't spray on the brake discs or on something hot.
Anyway apart from that car is good just a badly rustid fuel filter.
