Hi All
Have discovered a fuel leak on my 1.9d
Its is leaking from the fuel return pipe where it joins on the bulkhead.Is it just a case of the rubber pipe sitting over a connecting pipe and if so will a simple jubilee clip fix the problem
I have been able to prime the fuel pump and watch the fuel leaking from the return pipe
The return line is the pipe on the left
All help gratefully accepted
Colin

That's precisely what happened to my 1.9TD Colin. I replaced the pipe all the way from the pump to the joint below the rubber mounting block. It'll be impossible to free the old pipe from the rubber block so cut the old one off flush and secure the new pipe with strategically placed cable-ties.

No, the joint is under the block Colin. Imagine the rubber pipe carrying on through the block for say an inch and at the end, you'll find a coupler in the end of the pipe. Remove the spring clip around the pipe and give the pipe a sharp tug and the coupler will come out. The new new pipe can be Jubilee-clipped onto the exposed end of the coupler.
If I recall correctly, there is a little more rubber pipe south of the coupler before it joins onto the metal fuel pipe.

No need to go to the Stealers Colin, just get yourself a metre of 5/16" (8mm) fuel hose from a factor. That'll do fine as the Stealer will want to sell you the supply and return pipe assembly complete.admiral51 wrote: Another visit to the stealers tomorrow then

Well, lets just say I discovered that diesel is not in the same league as LHM as a hair conditioner I had to have a shower and wash my overalls afterwardadmiral51 wrote: Not much room to work in on the 1.9D cant guess how you managed with the TD Jim
As the BoL might say, on the TD, "access is poor"
