Fuel leak under rear wheel arch, cannot seem to mend it!!!

Hi all,

In the last 5 years that I've had my RRC I've repaired a fuel leak 7 times. After the 4th time I got annoyed and sent it to a garage, feeling as if it was being beaten by a bit of silly pipe.

The leak comes from the rubber pipe on the engine side of the filter. The pipe got cut back further and further until it couldn't be reconnected.

So the last time I did it (4 months ago) I joined a piece of copper pipe with a bulge in it to the rubber pipe before the fuel filter, and ran it all the way to the engine bay. I then placed the filter in the engine bay.

Ultimately I'd like to change the complete pipe to Aero fittings, but the thread at the fuel pump end I a silly M12 metric fine (I think that's right)

What can I do from here on.

Cheers, Leigh.
