Diesel leaking from the tank/filler pipe - Page 2

Aaaarrrrrggggghhhhh

Can anyone spot the missing object?

With thanks to Matt @ DMGRS for getting a new seal to me I set about seeing if I could sort out the leak.

Got the metal locking ring off really easily - I've had few goes at this

.

The white plastic ring underneath was tight. Really, really tight. In fact stupidly tight.

Eventually I got it released and found......

No rubber seal at all.

.

So, either it's swimming around in the tank somewhere or some person (I thought of several other names at the time...) hasn't bothered to put one on and has just screwed the whole thing down and just kept going 'cus it wasn't sealing.

Anyway, the tank is now sealed and all is clean and dry.

Thanks for the suggestions and support.

Andy.

Some "user upgrades" go a bit too far!
