Further to my recent post on the P1113 error, my mechanic fitted a new low pressure fuel pump (from GSF) and it seemed fine when the petrol level was low.
The first indication that there was a problem was when I filled up with fuel. I wondered how I managed to get up to 55 litres of fuel when the tank only holds 44 litres.
I wasn't until I saw a large pool of petrol dispersing from under the vehicle that it dawned on me.
The large black O ring seal (supplied by Citroen) had not been fitted properly. This fits under a flange on the top of the pump to a groove on top of the tank.
It seems there is no way to get the O ring to stay in the groove.
My mechanic has had another go but failed again, and there is still a leak.
He says he had to use glue to keep the O ring in place, but it seems this has failed to work.
I think I'll have to dismantle it myself to have a look at what's going on.
I phoned a Citroen dealer, but he just told me that's what happens when you buy after market parts and that I should have come to them for the work.
Has anyone out there come across this problem before?

I don't know if these have the expansion tank (actually I'm not sure if any PSA vehicles do) , the tiny 'tank' inside the tank itself designed to hold just a couple of litres of fuel.
Mainly I think to prevent any leakage if you fill it right up and then the weather warms up.
As far as I am aware, any vehicle's tank capacity quoted will not include said 'expansion' tank...
