    Default Fuel Leak

    Has anyone else ever had the problem of fuel coming back up the filler hole when ya go around the corner or roundabout or does anyone have any ideas on how to fix the problem besides saying to change the cap because i'm onto my forth cap wich is brand new so it obviously ain't the issue.

    I say your breather lines must be blocked or kinked as the fuel should run back down those if the fuel gets as high as the cap. I have a funny feeling there is also a 3/8" fuel line that runs from the overflow back into the tank.

    Have a look to see if the silver flap that normally flips back after you put petrol in the tank is still there. Its stuck upwards on mine and i have had the same problem with leaking fuel and changing caps. According to my local Holden Dealership to replace the silver flap you have to replace the entire filler neck, which means dropping the fuel tank out. Filler necks are about $43, but the hassle is in replacing ur current one. I decided not to bother, i just half fill my tank all the time now days.
