leaky fuel tank

[Wilson]

ive got a 1.5 novavan i put a full tank in and it was dripping about once every 20 seconds from the tank. now ive got 3/4 of a tank its stopped. the whole front of the tank has diesel on it. anyone have any idea of what it could be? is this a common problem with the hoses or is it more likely to be a split tank? any reply would be appreciated! :thumb:

How olds ya tank? just had to replace mine as it was starting to leak. but mine only stopped dripping when it gets to half full. I know on a petrol tank theres 2 breather pipes on the top about 3/4 of the way down but if its them its a tank off job to check them anyway. Unless theres an inspection hatch under the back seats?

because its a van its got a metal floor, i had it all up and their wasnt an inspection hatch. the tanks not that rusty so im not to sure if its the origonal tank or not. it could be them pipes so i mite have to wait until ive used a bit more diesel because thiers about 25-30 litres in it and then drop it out. if anyone else has had this problem it would be a great help to let me no.
