Have you checked to make sure the rubber hose at the filler neck is secured properly?

The conections are all at the front lower edge of the tank, nearside, You can see the outlet and return at the back of the n/s rear wheel arch. There's also the vent pipe which seems to loop up above the top of the tank and back down again on the lefthand side, behind the tank, under the carpet covering the back of the boot. The vent pipe also disappears into the n/s rear wheel arch. Finally, my (early) 4.3 has the fuel-level sender mounted in the side of the tank (n/s, about halfway up) rather than on the top of the tank on the o/s which seems to be a far more common arrangement.

Any of these entry/exit points could have developed a leak.

If you're really unlucky the tank itself might have sprung a leak.
