Fuel leak When Tank is Full

[CMF_Wallie]

ok so i have a major leak when the tank is full, & doom pointed out to me it could be the return hose.

im going to remove the fuel tank once its empty just to check, may as well have it cleaned & pressure tested,

has anyone changed there hoses to braided to prolong the life of them?
and what diameter is the line

Mine was leaking when it was full, I called the RAA and they came and replaced the line for me as it was a hazard

Sounds like the filler tube is disconnected half way

fixed this issue it was the fuel pump seal had perished & was majorly leaking

Hmmm interesting.. Might look into this also

why would my car be difficult/slow to fill up, it seems to help if i turn the bowser handle upside down

Mine used to do that, but after i had removed the tank and filler then refitted it later on. (this was part of the build, wasnt done just for the hell of it lol), the problem has seemed to go away.

I can only assume it was the vent hose that had something up with it, maybe excessively pinched at the bend to the tank. That hose is still squished now, just maybe not as much?.

Never looked into it any further so havent tested the theory, all i can say is maybe have a look at it. Apart from refitting the hoses nothing else was changed / done.
