LIszt Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I have recently bought a 110 CSW 300 tdi (1996) and have noticed that it leaks fuel out of the filler. I.E. if going along a twisty road the rear wing will be covered in diesel after a few miles. Not good. Cap seems to sit tight on filler neck. Am I missing something obvious? Is this a common problem? Any ideas on a remedy? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 You can try bending the locking tabs to pull the seal tighter to the filler or get another seal from an old cap and put 2 seals on the cap. I found it easiest to buy a new genuine cap (the pattern ones apparently still leak ! ). Job done , no more leaks. HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I can only second what has already been said but to add. If you get a black cap, it's supposed to be vented. Check that it is actually vented. Some came out that were not. There is also a filler neck tube that extends as a funnel for filling from jerry cans. That alao helps to stop the flow. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimAttrill Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 If you fit an extra tank in the wing it seems to stop the leaking problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
