Fuel supply problem, petrol - Page 5

Can anyone please help with the supply of a fuel pipe, the long one from the tank (filter outlet) to the engine compartment (KV6)?

Solved the supply problem when I got into the tank, an optimistic fuel gauge, the tank was almost empty. However, broke the plastic end of the pipe where it fits into the filter and discoveed it is not possible to just replace this plastic end.

Might this be the "yellow clip" issue on the filter?
But why is there such a large number of petrol and vent pipes (five?) running across the front of the petrol tank? Not to mention pipes internal in the tank. I seems an incredibly complicated sysyem I can't work out.
Also, Haynes suggests there is a level sender unit on the filter as well as on the pump. Is this correct? If so there will be electrical connections inside the petrol tank!
Assuming I will have to extract the filter assembly I might as well replace the filter, but I do not understand why a simple filter should cost £40 (Rimmer).
Lot of questions asked here, sorry. In process of getting this car sorted for a trip to Sweden next year.

I have sent you PM with details of Terry Shaw of TS Autos who can help you��

All the best, Nicholas/Zircon
