Fuel tank earth wire...
« on: 25 June 2012, 17:12:31 »
... Was clamped and trapped by a tow bar mounting bracket.

I've just removed the tow bar and its broken the connection.

The wire remaining is VERY short. A pig to get to. Do I really need to repair it...?

:(

It`s there for a reason so I`d say yes :)

Done it anyway. Is it for sparks from fuel vapour ?

Or electrics? :-\
