[QUOTE="Htotheunit, post: 254811, member: 1611"] Hi everyone! After a long winter in dry storage I went to take my van out for the summer. After a while the van did start for a few seconds (as expected, the battery was fairly low) however when I looked under the van there was a puddle underneath the right hand heat exchanger. I sniffed the puddle (as you do) and discovered it was fuel :shock: To cut a long story short, every time I turned the engine over, fuel spilled out of a small hole between the heat exchanger and exhaust manifold (yep, I now need a new manifold/heat exchanger) Is it normal/possible that I accidently flooded the engine whilst trying to start it and the fuel will just evaporate/burn off out of the exhaust or is this part of a much bigger problem? Thank you in advance guys =) [/QUOTE]
