Hi - has anyone come across this one? A couple of years ago I filled up the
850 saloon with petrol ready for the holiday. On returning home I could smell petrol and checked under the car. I noticed a leak and luckily my mechanic was able to see to the car immediately. On investigation, the leak was seen to be caused by the screw ring on top of the tank which has all the feed pipes in it and which holds the fuel sensor in place. it had become completely undone. He tightened this and all was well. On filling up a couple of days ago exactly the same problem. Is this a recurrent fault with the 850 and is there any modification that anyone knows of. I intend to have this checked as a service point and it may be as well if others take this problem into account. I Know there was a service recall in the states on the tank but for the area round the heat shield not from the top. Also neither the ring nor the tank are cracked. Any comments gratefully accepted. - regards, Roy- posted
