Diesel tank leak???

(1/2) > >>

mobimick:
Just found a BIG pool of diesel under my fuel tank (TD5) when I turn the ignition on fuel pump starts and Diesel pours out from behind rear suspension. Its too dark to see if its the tank or hopefully a fuel pipe.
Any ideas as to where to check?

disco2 td5:
fuel filter is sited behind the drives side rear wheel all fuel pipes from the tank run through thatthe filler pipe you can see in the same area

mobimick:
Thanks,
Its leaking from above fuel filter, closer to the tank i think.
Any ideas if its a job I could do at home, I'm no mechanic but I do stretch to basic servicing etc?

disco2 td5:
so its prob one of the push fit conections to the fuel filter housing  yea should be a easy job  just need to find the part you need then order it up i would prob take the rear wheel off to gain better access every time i change my fuel filter i take the wheel off

mac:
I've had this twice on my TD5, electrical cables on the top of the tank chafed through the plastic fuel lines as they were routed wrong at build - someone on here said it had been subject of a recall. Full set of colour coded pipes were about £50 but the tank needed to be dropped.
