just noticed i have a drip coming from around the fuel filter on my saf..

How is the pipe connected to the filter?

tried to tighten it but its solid.

take it there are copper washers of some sort in the banjo bolt that holds the pipe on.

is that wahst its called? banjo bolt lol

 

yep, banjo bolt. that may be tight, but that's better than a tight banjo string

they have copper washers (or ally) either side. replace them with new and it should sort it.

 

an 18 and 17 to take it off , the washer might be fucked.
the leak canny be as bad as mine

 

cheers for the advice boys!

will get onto it the mora after work..

the washers avail in halfords etc?

 

yes. as i say, can either be copper or ally ones. just need the right size

 

sure you use enough petrol anyway euan so get it sorted

 

SORTED

new washers and fuel filter!...

 

 

after looking at the new filter and washers today just to check things over again it got me thinking?

should the filter be held in place by any kind bracket?

mines has a fair bit of movement in it.

wasnt any kind of braket already on the car but just a thought incase im missing something?

 

yes mate there should be a bracket holding the filter in place, held on with a 10mm bolt if i remember correctly

 

fook i must be missing mine then...

anyone any pics of what im looking for?

 

bit of a shite picture but you get the idea
