Default mk 4 escort van just failed the mot :(

knew it would as it needed welding but just werent sure how much anyway one of the issues was a leaking fuel tank.

the problem being is that it leaking from somthing that looks like an overflow pipe(comes from the top of the tank) or somthing that looks like it lets the excess air out is it possible to over fill it ????
