Hi guys,
Hope you can assist me with the folowing problem. My notchback has got a fuel leak at the fuel overflow/return pipe located in the filler area. Im looking to replace the pipe but isn't sure what the thing is called so it makes it virtually impossible to shop online or even at spare shops.
Thanks :?

If you are sure its in your return pipe, then you will be able to make up that part by removing the flexible section that leaks, and having a section cut at your local spares shop.

All the fuel return, breather and filler pipes are a combination of solid steel pipes, and joining sections of flexible.

Have a look, you may just have a bad fitting or loose clamp.

Also make sure the breather goes up the fire wall and then to the filler, this ensures that the splashing of the fuel is drained back and only the air goes to the outer breather.
