I'm about to embark on the task of replacing the fuel lines at the rear of my car. I spotted what looks like an access cap on the boot floor as per this photo. Does this mean I'll find a banjo type fitting behind that cap? It's a 1999 car

This is not a photo of my car but mine does have this cap



Here's a photo from a car at James Agger

Probably just a jubilee clip

Certainly looks like a Banjo fitting, and a hose clip smile

I guess the question I should have asked was, I thought the outlet would be on the back very close to the wheel arch where most people appear to access it. Does this cap mean my tank has a bottom outlet

same set up as mine (replaced fuel lines too)

closer pics here and a couple of tips when you pop it all back together (get dowty washers, the brand new copper and alu ones I bought never sealed properly)
