C92hatchX Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 WTF could be going on i would put 5 bucks in and it would give me almost half a tank (it leaks only when pumping due to the hose leading to the tank), but i put 5 bucks in and in one day its gone?....wtf, i put 5 bucks in my vx and it would last 4-5 days, whats going on with my MPG?!?!, and im not driving it hard either Do you think it could be the aftermarket parts?, could it be leaking gas as im driving and turning?, i put i used tank in it cause my old one was cracked at the seem and leaking, and this one holds the gas it just leaks only when i pump the gas as far as i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Wut? Dwayne, you should proof-read your posts before you submit them. Try putting in more than 2 gallons at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C92hatchX Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 sorry i was in a rush, but i put ten bucks in and it last me about 3 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 In what way does it leak when you pump the gas? That's probably your problem right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I love this scientific 'i put in $5 and it lasts me a day' For all I know you went around the block and got .5 mpg or you drove to Cincinnati and back and got 100 mpg. I put $25 in my vw every week. What is wrong with my car? I dunno, it could be the 600 miles I drive it. You have to fix the fuel leak in every form before you can begin to diagnose a fuel mileage problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C92hatchX Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 i drive about 30-40 miles a day, and it only leaks when i pump as far as i know its the hose that the gas runs into the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 When you stop, start, turn and hit a bump gas can be splashing into the area that leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
