Shunter8 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Anyone had a fuel leak from the petrol tank area before? Had the car jacked up doing an exhaust gasket and could smell fuel, turned round to spot this leak dripping off the edge of the tank. I don’t think it’s a split tank unless it’s at the top as have never noticed it leaking when the car is flat, so maybe where the fuel pump/filter bolts in???? seems to be leaking down the side of the tank from up that direction so any common/known failures from that area? Any help on ideas greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 The most common place for the tank to leak is at the large O rings on the top of the tank. Quite an easy fix and I have the O rings in stock and good to go same/next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a drop the tank job or can they be accessed from the top inside the car? Just trying to work out if it’s something I could attack myself in a spare hour or two or whether it’s garage job as with starting back to work next week my jobs list already screams zero spare time is imminent.

ZMANALEX Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Like I said, an easy fix with no need to drop the tank and definitely a DIY with the correct fitting O rings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
