Isn’t it lucky…

….that petrol absolutely reeks?

I started my mog yesterday, and after going to the filling station noticed a distinct smell of petrol; assuming that it was just me treading in some (I’ve had that happen before) I didn’t really worry about it. Not, at least, until I was on the way home from shopping and got that distinctive wiff again.

But today I started the mog and a few seconds later (as I pulled off the drive) thought “cor blimey, there’s petrol leaking somewhere” and sure enough the pipe twixt pump and carb was spurting like a little baby petrol fountain.

So I guess I’ve got a bit more in the world of ‘things to do before my MOT test’ than I thought :(
