Leaking fuel pipe

[buba]

I was planning on replacing the fuel lines while i have the car in bits, but the other day my wife said she could smell petrol. I looked all over the garage checking the car and my boys bike but couldn't see anything.Next morning i found a stain under the car and found the culprit.

Question is, this goes through into the car and i'm assuming directly on to the tank, has anyone replaced this pipe or had the fuel tank out?

Can you get braided lines for the fuel system?

thanks

I feared that I'd have to take the tank out, do you know how it comes out and where the braided line can be bought from?
Thanks

Thanks for that Ian, I have the pipe off as I needed to drain the tank so can measure that and job for Friday is to get the tank out.

Finally got the fuel tank out today, what a job, there's two straps that hold it in place so only four bolts one of the floor bolts needed cutting off but hardest part of the job was getting the carpet out of the way.

I'm going to replace the pipes with a braided line both the feed and return.

On the top of the tank there's a connection that goes to what look like a small pump then to a cylinder in the wheel arch, can anyone tell me what this is for.

Thanks.

Yeah thats the one, excuse my ignorance but what is the carbon can for?

[buba]

ok thanks, is it something that requires changing?

Finally got all the fuel lines, bit disappointed that I couldn't get Goodridge for the return lines but once the are heat proofed you won't see the horrible black pipe

I got all of the Goodridge supply lines and fittings from Cam auto developments and the return line from Flexiducting.co.uk. All the lines are PTFE lined and rated for the new ethanol fuels.

My new Goodridge line fitted, 1 job off the list
