Diesel Leak

As if I haven't had enough on my plate

Now sat in the dealers after noticing a patch of diesel on the driveway

Checking over the connection after the recent fuel gauge work, hopefully something simple like a loose clip or hose Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Make him bring a big drip tray (one for the oil, not himself) and oil remover.

That's what I thought too Taz

Sounds like a seal on top wasn't seated correctly and was dripping

Will have to give it a spray down with some degreaser and jet it off, if they haven't already done it Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

they have had the tank off and they said it was top seal, which was weeping, probably due to the full tank of fuel and the slope of my driveway, but they have resealed this,

but as a precaution they have ordered in a new seal and this will be done, next week and steam cleaned down to stop any diesel leaks on Taz's driveway

Bit of a strange one too, as the guy on the service desk, said he had heard on the grapevine i had sold my car Confused I wish Laughing Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
