just filled up the tank ready to go on holiday and got home to find a pool of petrol on the drive!!

taken the access hatch off and seems to be a lot of petrol around the locking ring, is this a common failure / leak? :-/

see if ring will tighten slightly - they can work loose. But sounds like either the seal has gone (reasonably uncommon) or the fuel pipes have corrodedm and leaking out of plate (should be easy to tell

[HerefordElite]

pipes coming out of top of pump are bone dry - ring is very tight so may take it off to have a better look  :-/

well i started to loosen it off and petrol started pissing out so tightened it back up with a big screwdriver and rubber mallet and leak seems to have stopped. (fingers crossed) :-/

serves me right for trying to get 67 litres in a 65 litre tank
