I have a leaky rubber fuel poipe on my 110. Runs from the RH chassis
member under the rear left wheel arch and disappears behind the fuel tank.
Can this be changed with the fuel tank in situ. Where is the connector
on the tank?

TIA

John

Date? Petrol/diesel? They are different.

Mine (89, diesel), has one pipe from the level sensor's mounting plate,
visible just above the chassis under the NS wheel-arch, and the other
goes to the centre-top-front of the tank. Can't remember which is flow
and return. The side one is do-able in-situ, the top one probably not
easily.

From horrid experience, you'll need a near-empty tank, a suitable small
board (to distribute the weight as you lower the tank) and a trolley
jack, onto which you can gently lower the tank (with its stone guard) as
a unit, and an assistant to man the jack's valve whilst you winkle the
tank out from between the frames. It's very hard to do (may be
impossible) if the (NS) level sensor is still in place, because it
sticks out rather a lot, and there's little enough wiggle room as it is.

There is a short description in the HBOL, and slightly better diagrams
in the workshop manuals.

Regards,

Simonm.

At a guess on the top if it's owt like the 109 2.6 Petrol.. which has an
access panel in the rear floor for just this sort of stuff.

On the diesel, both lines run back along the RH chassis rail and cross in
front of the tank.
The return line then goes to the top of the tank and the supply line
continues round to the sender on the LH side, visible just above the LH
chassis rail.
You'll need to find which line is leaking as changing the return line will
require removing the tank which is a bit of a PITA. I've just changed my
tank and I don't want to do that again for quite a while!

Good luck,
Gromit
