D2 Fuel leak

(1/2) > >>

mac:
For the second time in about 18 months I've got a split fuel line above the tank on my TD5 - am I just unlucky or is this a common problem? Not seen it mentioned on here, yesterday had to drive it home occasionally using the rear wiper it was leaking/swirling so bad :-(

dxmedia:
Either way, can you fix it before you kill a biker  ?

It must be leaking out to cover the back of the truck, and coming up to winter diesel on the road is lethal.

mac:
In for the fix now.

Budgie:
Yep, had one of mine go as well, just between the front of the tank and the cross member. Great for getting your hand into for replacing the pipe.  :doh:
It looked as though it had been rubbing on one of the other pipes and had worn through. I just cut out the bad section and put normal rubber fuel pipe in there as it wasn't on one of the pressurised ones.

jimthelandyman:
There is a genuine repair kit for this, it was a recall ring your dealer and see if they can still carry it out. I did one a couple of years back but i havn't seen any come in for the repair recently.
