    Fuel smell from my 1998 Roe GTS

    I will take a look at that over the weekend Jeff as I think it may well be there. If no electric fuel pumps have been switched on and its smelling as soon as I put fuel in it I guess it must be tank related as if fed via pump in tank then nothing would have come down the fuel lines. I have...

    Fuel smell from my 1998 Roe GTS

    Thanks for the help. Are you referring to the seal at the top of the tank for the sender Jeff? I am also a little confused as not only does it smell it seems to lose a gallon or so every week or two when sitting in the garage (though I may be imagining this much but the level drops) Am I...

    Fuel smell from my 1998 Roe GTS

    Hi All, I am hoping someone here can help guide me... I bought a Roe GTS last year and have always noticed the fuel seems to be evaporating and smelling the garage out.

    Bleeding Coolant troubles. What is the point of the fender coolant bottle?

    I pukes quite quickly from a freshly topped up pressure tank, but stops and is not a constant it does it then stops and then might do it again a minute later. When I let cool for a few minutes and open with a rag it pukes out quite a lot. Once cooled has around 3/4 to a half bottle of water left...

    Bleeding Coolant troubles. What is the point of the fender coolant bottle?

    Thanks guys, I will attempt to do this today (bleed via thermostat) and disconnect hose from thermostat and fill with water. It is a new thermostat replaced due to temprature fluctuations and once bumper removed the fender bottle had a hole in bottom so had been sucking in air. I had not noticed...

    Bleeding Coolant troubles. What is the point of the fender coolant bottle?

    To answer your question John it happens while driving and parked. Cruising along steady 50mph it can rise and fall straight back down or stay hot for some time before tumbling down in seconds.

    Bleeding Coolant troubles. What is the point of the fender coolant bottle?

    Grateful for your input guys. I have had the cap on whilst trying to bleed. My front bumper is off so I could repair front bottle so I can watch carefully.
