Joe90's Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Anyone with a solution to my problem would be a hero My fuel tank pours diesel onto the floor of the petrol station if i fill it to the brimIts as though there is a leak around the point of the fuel inlet into the tank. At the bottom of the neck My question is, how do i take the tank off, iv looked around on google but nowhere mentions the fuel inlet neck (does it come off with the tank as one or do i have to remove it first?) all i have found is how to remove a majority of it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 What year is the vehicle and what engine does it have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 90 or 110? Side or rear tank? If I "guess" 90 side tank, then you remove the fill hose from the side of the tank. Lots of fun to access..... The tank is also fun to remove with the seatbox in place but possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I bet its a 2.4/2.2 tdci, I'd also bet that the roll over breather thingy majig on the tank is leaking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe90's Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 When i finally got round to fixing the problem, i bought my brand new tank. After much swearing and force i dropped the old tank out without having to remove the seatbox. Just the 3 bolts holding it in and all the auxiliaries connected to it. Its definitely worth using a car jack to support the weight of the tank even after its been drained. It also reduces the fall when you hit it from the top, it did need a lot of wiggling and repeated attempts admittedly. Once out the new tank popped in relatively easy, definitely a lot quicker using the jack to push it up. One foot on the jack and 2 hand pushing the top across as it went up. After all the hassle and my late night I found that the cause of the leak was a missing screw in the sender unit as it hasn't leaked as much as it was. Oh well, good excuse to fit a new tank fitted and holes plugged. The truck is a 1993 200tdi 90 in answer to Maverik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
