Cima Racing : Home2Rome 2010: Boom bang a bang

Boom bang a bang

07 September 2007

A Shell station ready to refill my car, yesterday.

Brilliant!

With just 14 hours before the gorgeous Williams-Renault Safrane FW14B is due to be displayed at Donington Park I decided to go and perform a couple of routine but vital checks. Things like making sure the tyres were ok, the coolant levels were fine, and that the bolts holding the vents on hadn't come loose.

Then I noticed the pool of fuel under the car. Roughly 25 litres of it.

With few alternatives available, I took a gamble and drove the car straight to our good friends at ASAP. The decision to drive was (rightly) ridiculed both there and by my wife, but needs must.

A trip up the ramps, a few pokes and prods, and then a new bit of tubing from the fuel pump to a bit of tubing further forwards, and all's ok.

Phew.
