Hey gents,
After some advice - had my car in to the dealership for rough running and they claimed to have miraculously fixed it with a new fuel filter (which it hasn't but that's a different story!). They had the in tank pump out for investigation as part of this fault finding exercise.
Today I filled the car up, and before the pump had even clicked off (took me a few seconds to realise) I could hear fluid running, low and behold my car is leaking fuel out onto the forecourt.
After it stopped leaking I went and told the attendant and sorted sand out, took the car home and parked it up. After lifting the rear bench and looking under the cover that allows access to the pump its lagged in diesel, with quite a bit spilled over into the cover itself.
Do I take the car there first thing tomorrow and say I want it fixing there and then or do I go to work. My concern is that whilst the run from home to the fuel station is flat, my work route is twisty, hilly and I don't want to cause danger to other road users by my dirty diesel marking its route from sloshing in the tank.
I'd imagine as a temporary measure if they drained some fuel out it'd stop it escaping past what I assume is a destroyed/failed seal?
TL;DR - Dealership broke car, it leaks diesel when tank is full would it be responsible of me not to drive it and leak more onto the roads.
