Does anyone in the family own a servo ? Sure must stand up and go though ?? Cant be just a fuel line/pump. You'd smell and see the fuel leak

I have swapped for a small vehicle of another manufacturer (but won't embarrass myself by naming) and am currently getting around 7.5 L/100km. Lovely economy, but what an ugly pig of a vehicle. If any
