Fuel filler pipe
Posted: Sun Jan 18, 2015 8:52 am
Started to put the first fuel in my new tank and quickly noticed (luckily) that there was a leak somewhere as the boot floor was flooded with petrol . Tank out, checked drain plug and sender unit and they didn't seem to be the cause. Tried again and this time noticed the leak was from the filler pipe. There is a some misalignment between the tank pipe and the filler pipe so the rubber pipe connector is not quite straight. I've tried to tighten the clips as tight as I can, but my question is should I use some form of sealant between the rubber and ali pipes eg silicone or the black non-setting stuff used for windscreens. Or maybe I should double up the clips. Any suggestions most welcome
