Hi Roy. Maybe pop a photo up of where the leak is or you think it is, and we can take a look that way, you have done the right thing trimming the end of the fuel hose as they can flare out over time. The same clips can be used for the hoses, they are easy to undo and press back together. Fitted one last week for a member due to it being intermittent, also change the fuel filter if it as not been changed in the last 12 months, not that would be your problem just thought I would add that bit of info.

I have often wondered do we change fuel filters too soon.
My wife's Peugeot had a drain screw on the bottom of the filter housing. I opened it several times over the 150,000 miles the car covered. Nothing but diesel came out. Nor did any water.-- My present R75 diesel has had the same filter, unchanged, in it since December 2003.-- Never had any problems with the running of the car. Very strange.-- |

Great, glad you nailed the leak..
I meant to add that at the time I did mine Andy ( Trikey ) mentioned the pipes need to be clipped properly to prevent chaffing..because I used normal fuel line I decided to drill 2 x 5mm holes 5mm between centers in the plastic battery box left side at the bottom and secured the pipes with a tie wrap, this way they couldn't pop out of the clips and chafe or, I guess you could renew the clips with full captive type. |
