diesel leak 300tdi

after searching on here there is little info about fuel leaks for the 300. my missus uses the disco on a round trip of 45miles daily which uses roughly 10litres a day, this week weve noticed its using double that, ive had a look round and apart from a damp fuel filter which was replaced 2 weeks ago all seems dry, the filter did seem a bit damp but the difference in consumption means it would have to be ****ing out, is there anywhere else i should check

Spill off pipes between injectors. The sound deadening cover on mine rubbed holes in the pipes. Realy easy to change just pull old ones off and push new ones on. If it is the pipes just go to a auto parts supplier and buy it by the meter. 1 meter (£2-£3) should do the job twice. No clips or nothing fancy... I used a sharp bread knife to cut the new pipes because I was on a camp site at the time.

i had a good look round but the car was wetish in the dark so hopefully the weekend will show it up, i'm thinking the fuel meter may be misreading, is there any way to look in the tank and check its working ok and if if got more more/less fuel than i should have,

You could ignore the read out and put in the required amount and use the odo to gague your consumption.That way checking the fuel gague.Also I saw one on the ramp with a fuel leak at tank sender unit under carpet in back.The guy had to replace it there.Out of sight and very leaky.

Yep under the boot floors a good place to check. Mine needs replacing very soon but aint leaking yet so I hope it makes it till payday! You wont be able to see that much fuel tank through the inspection hole. This was taken with the boot floor removed.
