Fl@pper i have found my petrol tank is leaking, its under the panel under the back seats, there was a strong smell there and wet, how can i get this fixed and how much did it cost you?

 

[Fl@pper]

that's the top of the fuel pump so it's probably one of the hoses

check em for leaky holes and if none seen change the hose clips and clean it all up just don;t overtighten em

mine cost me a 50p hose clip

 

[jennings]

it seemed to be more wet around the black collor does this screw on? are there any seals that could have broken? i dont think its the hoses

 

[Fl@pper]

run engine and have a look at the pipes and give em a good wiggling worked for me

there is an o-ring seal on the cap but thats rare to just start leaking as its on the top so i doubt ittll slosh about through that

found the problem was the hose leading to the expansion chamber someone numpty put the wrong pipe on
