MOT is Wednesday and I've got a wee problem I think.
A few weeks ago I filled the defender up to the max, proper full, right up to the top. Once I finished filling it (as I was housing the hose back into the pump) the diesel in the tank made a 'burp' and spat out some fuel?
Then a few days later I was on a proper cleaning mission under it and used a low pressure garden hose and engine degreaser. The tank was filthy with thick dirt around the filler hose and in fact everywhere.
Then last week my friend borrowed the defender and noticed some diesel drips on his drive (I have gravel). Further inspection we discovered the tank is damp with fuel.
It's only a small drip, not got last half full yet.
Any ideas what it could be? The top of the tank is dry. Thought it could be from the fuel sloshing around and leaking out of the filer hose. That's damp too?
Any help would be great please.
