few "drips" when parked up. A friend suggested that there may be a fuel pump in/outside the tank which drips after the engine is turned off. Doesn't drip when starting or driving the car. I can't see any leaks on the petrol tank. Any body help? Thanks
 
With petrol injection, the pump normally in the tank, is pressurised while the ignition is turned on . So, if you turn on your ignition but don't start the engine, you should be able to see if the supply pipes to the engine are leaking. In any case it is dangerous and should be repaired as a matter of urgency.
