I retired in race 1 with a split fuel filter. The Hurricane piping had frayed and worked it way to create a small hole in the fuel filter. Some nice flames out the back. Had to use the f/x and so did the marshalls. I did smell fuel for about 1/2 a lap, but carried on as its racing after all
Managed to get a spare filter off Randy (via Geary at Eliseparts) and Ben Pitch did a superb job in getting me back out. I finished the 2nd race in 14th, 6th in class
Small difference between a fractured fuel filter pishing it into the engine bay and a gasket leaking vapour into the cabinjamie wrote:The message is the same where ever you look! Andy sort it out
MMMMM i have had a few cars that have smelt of fuel. Shame that never happened to them !!!!!!!!!!!!
