Hi,
I recently purchased a 1991 BMW 320i, and everything seemed to be fine UNTIL
I went to fill her up. As the attendant was filling up the tank he pointed out
to me with some alarm that petrol was streaming out from underneath the car.
I took a look and to my horror observed a steady stream of fuel flowing out
from somewhere underneath the area of the rear pasenger door.
The car is fine as long as I fill it up to less than 3 quarters full, after that
it overflows. It doesn't seem like a small hole or anything because the fuel
leaks out at a very rapid pace. I suspect some sort of cracked hose or something,
but why would it only leak after 3/4 full ?
Does anyone have any ideas where the leak could be, presuming there is not
a physical hole in the tank itself ?
