Diesel leak filler pipe

PEGE63 · Mar 16th, 2021, 12:06

Filled car to the brim today n noticed a wet puddle underneath.
Maybe 150-200ml lost so looked underneath and could see drips where pipe levelled off towards the tank.
Any suggestions to best way to fix this ( apart from not brimming it..).

You will need to replace the rubber elbow from the filler neck to the tank!

Do you mean high up where fuel goes in as most of the vertical pipe down which then go horizontal above the suspension arm seems to be in aluminium.

The aluminium filler pipe might have corroded where it's strapped to the tank vent pipe. My V70 did the same. Some self amalgamating tape did the trick for me. It won't last forever, but keep an eye out for leaks and replace. My first attempt lasted a year.
