Hi I have a fuel leak around the filler neck. latelyI have had problems starting it and last Sunday it was purging then it conked out on a mini roundabout the leak is drippin onto the front mount of the leaf spring and dripping down. I am in the process of draining the tank and then going to drop it just wondering if anyone has had this before and know where leak if?? I have read before filler neck and return pipe are the common places

Sounds like it could be the stack pipes that go into the tank
Milners 4x4 sell them

check them all and the stack pipes

OK if it just top of stack pipes I might shorten them now replace rubber pipes take it a hole in the stack pipes would cause purging and also to conk out?

hole or leak in any fuel pipe would

OK klkl just got to try free off the rear tank nuts as they being a bitch

they will probably snap in true mitsi style

The front were ok with some wd40 and my ratchet lol

u might be lucky

Might spray again with wubble you dee and try find a socket to fit if not be the hack saw and a couple new nuts

aint they captive nuts?

Didn't notice but will check again but front deffo weren't

They all was on mine when I dropped it last week.

Not on mine they weren't. It was the nuts you took off. Had to replace my tank recently, pin holes on the top of the tank and down one side.

All nuts undone and it's like the ankle is fixed to the vehicle any ideas how to get it off ?

OK tank removed and inspected and ends up being the field stack of which has a pin hole in feeder pipe close to were it comes through the plate. Which meansyou idea if cutting pipe shorter and attaching a longer fuel pipe on is out the window

braze it or get new stack pipes

Getting new stacks c/w fitting kit better that way

OK the silly flanged nuts are rusted solid tried the hack saw do1wn the edge of thread (as not to damage it ) and students snapped any advice on how to get the other nuts off without snapping studs ??

nut splitter

There flanged as well was considering using the torch to heat up but worried about gas at top of the tank
