slight petrol leak on the fiesta rs turbo.
got a slight leak on the fuel filter here on the fiesta rs turbo, new washers have been used, ive tightened it up a bit but it still gets a bit moist with petrol! any solutions? might try the old copper washers to see if it helps! hate stuff like this, changed gearboxes, engines etc.......... but its the niggly things that bug me!

Think they were 15mm but I'd have to check in my eBay history for u later. I had a day booked off work to work on my car, decided to change the fuel filter and spent the entire day stuck on the ramp with the bastard leaking, tried every washer known to man and then bought these dowty washers and been fine since
