FridgeFreezer Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Have a look under it after filling up, see if you can see any fuel leaks. When I changed the fuel pump/filter on mine it took a few goes to get the retaining ring tight enough to stop it doing this. The top of the tank is under a hatch in the boot floor (just under the right rear seat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
