Why fuel tank health matters

Your vehicle’s fuel tank stores petrol or diesel and must remain sealed, structurally sound, and free from contamination. Damage, corrosion, punctures, or age-related deterioration can cause:

• Fuel leaks or odours around the vehicle
  
  

• Fuel contamination from rust or debris
  
  

• Reduced fuel delivery and engine performance
  
  

• Safety hazards from vapour escape
  
  

• MOT failure due to leaks or corroded components
  
  

If you notice fuel smells, wet spots under your car, or visible corrosion, it’s essential to bring your vehicle in for inspection promptly.

Common symptoms of fuel tank problems

You may require fuel tank repair or replacement if you experience:

• Strong fuel odour around the car or garage
  
  

• Visible leaks or stains under the vehicle
  
  

• Check engine light related to fuel system faults
  
  

• Reduced driving range despite full tanks
  
  

• Engine hesitation or stalling due to inconsistent fuel supply
  
  

These often indicate cracks, corrosion, or internal tank damage that must be addressed for safety and reliability.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q: How long does fuel tank repair or replacement take?
A: Minor repairs may take a few hours. Full replacement, including removal, cleaning, and reinstallation, takes longer depending on vehicle type.

Q: Will a leaking fuel tank fail an MOT?
A: Yes — any leak, loose component, or corrosion can lead to an MOT failure, as fuel integrity and emissions are inspected.

Q: Can a fuel tank be repaired instead of replaced?
A: Small holes and rust spots can sometimes be repaired, but extensive corrosion or structural damage usually requires full replacement.

Q: Do you check the fuel pump and sensors?
A: Yes — we inspect associated components inside or near the tank and recommend replacements if necessary.
