Hello,
This is my first post so a big hello to everyone here :-)
I have a 2007 Maruti Swift VXI. The car has been parked in the past 15 days and not used. When I had parked the car I had about half tank of fuel. However, when I checked yesterday the fuel indicator was below empty (bottom most point). The car has not been used. It has not moved from where it was. The petrol cap and cover are both closed. I cannot see any petrol patches or smell arouind the car.
Also the car won't start. It tries to crank up... but does not start.
Today I had someone put 5 litres of petrol in the car but the fuel gauge still did not move and the car still does not start. I did a bit of research on Google and I think it might be a fuel pump issue.
I am in a place that's quite far away from my home city. I know a few people here and can possibly get a trusted mechanic to take a look at the car, but wanted to ask if there are any tests I can do myself before I call a mechanic.
Thanks!
