156 Fuel Smell

Ok, I'll ask, how the bloody hell did they rip the hood from the rear hinges . . . .and WHY???

That was the fire crew's decision. Car was completely alight by the time I got out, and I never had time to open the bonnet.

Car was already beyond saving long before the fire truck arrived, and they couldn't get access to the bonnet latch inside the cabin. I guess they figured that was the quickest/safest way to get to the engine bay. It did take them about four separate attempts to completely extinguish.

Since its European they probably thought the bonnet opened that way

Certainly shows how tough the bonnet catch itself is, still intact and supporting the whole weight of the bonnet.

Yeah, just a pity the fuel rail wasn't as robust . . . . . .

Last. On this.  Just replaced my new pump the one on eBay. Was not right but the sellers were real good and asked me for more info after I bought it. Turns out the one I bought was wrong but these guys went out of there way and made sure I got right part.  The link above good service and arrived overnight from vic to Gympie.    Fitted and all good.     By the way as it was leaking like water through a stocking would that potentially throw an engine light.
