RX8 Crash!

[MarkyMark]

Well ok, not a massive one but a guy at work has had his handbrake fail, rool back and hit another car. It was hit on the rear end but now doesn't start. I'm guessing there is a fuel cut off safety system fitted or something thats detected a crash and cut the fuel off.

Does anybody know if the RX8 has such a system and if so, how to reset it? I've had a google but not come up with much.

Cheers in advance

Amazingly, its completely untouched. Its all panel damage above the right hand pipe. Its not pushed back or anything as far as the untrained naked eye can tell!

Ah thats ok then, just thought it might have crimped up causing a blockage.

So do you know if these cars have a safety cut off then or anything that might tell the car to not start? It worked fine before the bump lol.

Doesn't start because its out of petrol. They're so thirsty even the few feet rolling backwards is enough to empty the tank
