Disco 2 Discovery 2 fuel leak (Drivers side of fuel tank) - Only when running

Hi so I could do with some advice I have a 2003 discovery 2 Td5 and I have noticed I have a bad leak from the drivers side of the fuel tank that leaks down the chassis.

This only happens when the engine is running, I checked the fuel filter and this is rather dry so I don’t think that it is leaking from that but don’t know where it could be coming from.

Check the connection of the GREEN fuel line at the top/back of the tank (access hatch under boot carpet. Well known for coming loose and ****ing diesel out when pump running.

Thank you I will check that I had to replace the pump when I bought it a year ago.

Willlet you know what mine was when back from repair

Mine was from the fuel pipe rubbing against something between the tank and body, well known issue I believe.

It'll be the green pipe on top of the tank. Rubs against the loom.

Can be bought on its own, fairly easy to replace.
