Hole in Vantage fuel tank

Every time I look at the fuel gauge, there seems to be a quarter of a tank less than I expect. Last week I did two quick trips from London to Box Hill and to Heathrow and most of a full tank disappeared.

Clearly there must be a hole in the fuel tank. Does anyone know where I can get an Aston Martin bucket, that I can put underneath the car to collect the fuel that is mysteriously disappearing? Perhaps Bamford Rose do them.

They do like a tipple and are not subtle about the speed at which they neck it
I've done over 23k miles in my two and only ever got over 20 mpg once! (cruise control on the M6)

I am still going through the phase of using any excuse to pop out in the car, even if its for a pint of milk. Most expensive pint of milk that's for damn sure! Worth every penny

Plus 1, I even drive a few miles after washing to "dry off the brakes to stop them rusting and because it's not good just starting the engine for a few yards on the drive". It's amazing what you can convince yourself (and significant other)is necessary to drive them
