    Thanks to everyone for their input. Removed towbar and fuel tank today. Yes the faulty line was the one that runs to the front of the vehicle. It appears that the electrical loom that runs to the fuel filter has rubbed through the line (green connector at the fuel tank). I'll make some calls on Monday and check out repair options eg the new part Mundys talking about. Anyway we'll see how we go.
    Thanks
    Richard

    Thumbs up fixed

    Picked up the part (4 fuel lines in a "loom") $195.00. Completed the repairs on Sunday. Thanks to Clean TD5 for sending me a link detailing the repair. By the time I read his message I'd finished the job.

    Anyway the fuel leak is repaired. Found some wear on the figure 8 fuel line going to the engine, caused by rubbing against rear suspension bolts.
    I protected the line with a split hose and cable tied away from the bolts.

    Now that this has been completed it's onto the next problem. I'll start a new thread for it though.

    hey all,
    just got home from work tonight realised i could smell diesel, looked underneath the car sure enough fuel leaking from hoses on the tank.tried to start the car to see if leak increased when fuel pump was starting but car wont start almost like a faulty starter noise(tick tick tick). was just wondering if this is normal with this issue if so apart from changing the hoses whats my next step re getting the car to kick over.(ive waited an hour or so and the leaking has slowed but carwont start still but almost kicked over???)
