Thanks timr...makes sense since I copped an eyefull of petrol when I undid the pipes. ALWAYS wear safety glasses.

Just as an addendum. If you look at the photos I sent, the leak was a tiny hairline crack on the right angle hard plastic bit that goes into the sender unit. So small you could hardly see it. A bit of Rapid Fix and the job is done, no more petrol smell.

Just one thing though. Despite the fact that I have put everything back as it should be, the fuel guage no longer works.
Any Ideas ?? Perhaps I have to re set the computer ??
Appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks again...Phil
