FUEL LEAK - HELP !!!

[Mike82]

dont know if anyone can help or has any suggestions... i have a fuel leak (as you may of guessed) quite heavy from the drivers side rear wheel arch just behind the door. I thought the mpg had gone down quick today.

had this a couple of times lift carpet in back and remove panel above fuel tank and ther is 2 jubilee clips that will probably need tightening

cheers, looks like the pipes split further down, can't see enough with just that cover off so will get it on ramps in the week. no driving for me today

Hope it is just a pipe, one of the seams on my tank had to be repaired when it leaked, worst part was getting all the boot carpets clean and getting rid of the smell of petrol!

Does anyone know if the fuel hose is one continuous run from the tank to the engine? i.e. am I looking to replace the full length or just a section? thanks

Its just a short section from the pump Feed and Return to a push fit standpipe.

F 5/16” W R6 FUEL HOSE X 140mm
R 5/16” W R6 FUEL HOSE X 160mm

Just make sure you replace it with 'heat' and fuel resistant type, as exhaust heat causes failure of original fitted.
Ensure you depressurize fuel lines first.
