There's a HowTo on the correct refitting of a tank module and rubber gasket if anyone's in that position.

Hi All,
Managed to get some time to remove the manifold cover and have a look. When ignition is on and fuel is pumping, there a is a substantial "drizzle" (is that a word?) of fuel from the end of the left side of the front fuel rail between the rad and the alternator. I'll try to attach a picture below. Can anyone give me some guidance on repairing this? Assuming it is repairable, or the replacement parts needed? Phil |

Thanks for that Mike,
Do you know if I need any special tools for this, or if there is a how to available? Also, anything else I should be doing whilst on this job? Phik |

From an ageing memory, no tools, just the clips that keep the ends pressed together. Only separated the fuel pipes once when doing my first thermostat change, now I don't bother. Others may be more enlightened.

TC - do you think it's worth changing these seals (in-tank pump and filter) as a precautionary measure? I ask because I've got the fuel tank out of the car and it would be the golden opportunity. Or is it best to leave them well alone? (No sign of leakage from the existing ones but they are 18 years old). |

Hello Phil Sounds very similar to the leak I had, where I had to replace a couple of the "O" rings. Not sure how to add a link here to the thread I posted last year. It had both my pictures and some from Arctic which will definitely help you. Search for my thread "V6 Petrol Rail leak... advice please" and have a read. Come back if you can't find it. Good luck John

Hi John,
Thanks for that. I've found your post, I'm sure it'll be a great help. I've ordered the o rings and I'll post when I have fitted them. Phil |
