On several Omegas the smell of petrol at rear of car has led me to discover rust in the feed pipe below boot floor, which I repaired with Araldite. When changing a fuel pump last Saturday I discovered that on my 2 spares one cap was good as new and the other was rusted beyond further use, see pic. Happily the estate I was repairing also had an as new cap, suggesting that estate caps last better.

Thanks for the heads up, looks like something worth checking

Yep, that's always been a weak point. Worth taking the panel off and giving it a good douse in Waxoyl or similar every so often to delay the inevitable.

There's a silver circular access panel in the boot floor.
