is in my car!

grrr

I've located what I think is some minor seepage coming from the breather hose that tells the fuel pump nozzel youre getting close to full.

Anyone know how easy these are to replace and how much of a bugger they are to remove?

It's connected to the fuel filler neck but I cant see where it goes to the fuel tank. I don't really wanna have to drop the fuel tank - that means taking the rear brake cables apart and Ive just filled up!

grrr

That pipe goes through the chassis leg iirc, and I also think it enters the tank towards the top, you might be able to do it just by loosening the tank.

tank out im afraid. ive just replaced mine. the tank should come past the brake cable it you pull it down and slide the tank to the n/s. 30 min job max

helped a m8 out with his a while back.. theres **** all room up in there, we had to undo the straps and with the tank tilted over it was still a pain, it was held on with an airline style squash clip, that we cut to disconnect the pipe and put it back in with a jubilee clip done up tight as poss.

if you bust off the fuel line on the lower most front side of the tank, itll prob take 5 mins to drain, funnel it back in when your done.
