The fuel return and supply pipes that emerge from the car and curl round under the water expansion tank have sprung a leak.
Luckily I spotted it as I moved the car rather than once driving!
I seem to recall being a bit dubious about how tight they curled around from the connection under the tank around to where they enter the fuel filter pipe, and the one returning to the car connection that sits behind the manifold, always seemed to me to be a bit of an accident waiting to happen.
At this point I'm not sure if it's the rubber supply to the filter that's failed, or the return from the fuel rail as I haven't done more than put it back in the shed once I saw the leak, but I suspect the return pipe as it wasn't a high pressure flood like it would be on full supply pressure, but enough to be dangerous!
My question is, have any of yopu guys had similar issues, and what did you do to make a better repair rather than just replace with more rubber pipe. I had hoped to find a kit available that would replace the lot with braided hoses, surely there must be a better solution that have rubber pipe in such a tight space?
I'd rather fix it now and forever brather than fit another length of rubber pipe which will inevitably degrade..
