Ive been awake since 8 am yesterday!! Went to work at 5pm yesterday and finished at 6.30am this morning!! <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley3.gif">

I dropped a friend off at his house on my way home from work... BUT...

After dropping him off, my car stalled for no apparent reason... then there was a strong smell of petrol!! <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley3.gif">

After checking everything under the bonnet I was puzzled??? With a huge pool of petrol on the floor too!!!! <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley3.gif">

Whilst pitch black just before 7 this morning, I realised one of the fuel pipes to the fuel filter had fell off... ARSE!!

So ive lost a tank of petrol on the floor, got dirt and petrol all over me, including in my hair... had to get the car towed back to work and get a lift home!

So I've now been awake for over 24 hours!!! And i'm completely knackered... <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley12.gif">

Atleast nothing major broke.. and its just a case of pushing a clip back on the fuel filter... could have been MUCH worse though!! <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley3.gif">

Dude, It's next to the fuel tank, under the car.
