Hi there,
Another Pink Stripe XM problem (May 92 2.1 TD Estate):
Filling (right)up for the first time, the fuel cut-off on the filling nosel cut off OK, but diesel just started to flood out from under the car . I couldn't see where it was coming from for sure, but it seemed to be from somewhere on the top of the tank upwards, as the underside of the tank seemed to be fine.
I moved the car to the other side of the the petrol station (getting hassled all the while from the teenage attendant - yes of course I was flooding the place with derv at my expense on purpose!), and it was still leaking but just a dribble by then.
It seemed to stop quickly so I moved off and there was no more problem.
Is there a relatively easy way for me to do a visual check on the neck of the filler pipe to the tank without having to drain and drop the tank? Or should I just wait until it's almost empty, drop the tank and have a look then? There's bugger all about the filler pipe/overflow setup in the Haynes.
Cheers,
Ade
