Bush Tucker Man:
Tried to rinse it away late last night with a strong solution of caravan cleaner, detergent & water.
This morning I had a slight 'rainbow trail' behind me as I pulled into the Doctors Accomodation to drop 'Small-Child' off at school.
However it had been 'lashing it down' about 05:00 (when it woke me up) so the roads were soaked & it could have been a mixture of water & diesel??


There's 2 hypothesis' on this, I suppose;
1. It's simply a small amount that's stood on top of the tank during removal/refitment & has moved around during my driving it & is now even more diluted with road-spray & thus dripping??

2. It's leaking from the sender unit/supply-return pipes???

I suppose until it all dries out I can't find out properly.


As you can understand I was a bit 'miffed' last night, it had been a swine of an evening & on arriving home, I get out to find an apparant fuel leak

Can't you just nip back to Simon's in the morning with the Defender, I suspect he could check it / sort it out pretty quickly.

Bush Tucker Man:
I intend to. I thought it had stoppd this morning & was simply what was sitting on top of the tank, but it was dribbling when I got home tonight again.

By my reckoning, it ought to be considered warranty work on the initial repair??

Dead right, can't imagine any objections.

Bush Tucker Man:
Took it back after a brief conversation this morning,
Well, SWMBO spoke & I listened :oops:

It involved strange phrases like "Next time use the main-dealer!" :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Took it back, but he can't look at it until Monday (then it depends on if it needs anything else)
