Didnt quite understand when the tank was leaking, and when not, but just want to mention that my 95 estate does leak quite badly. (approx a litre in a few seconds when i fill it to the top.) Just happens when im done filling. It dumps about a litre on the ground and then no more leak until the next time i fill it. Guessing some broken breather pipes or something. Anyway ignoring it works for me:P

When I first purchased my Omega, I filled the tank and was horrified to discover that fuel was pouring out underneath the car......I found that the large-diameter plastic 'nut' that secures the pump/outlet assembly had been left loose (it needed to be more than hand-tightened), when a previous owner had replaced the fuel pump....this leak only occurred when the tank was full and the dripping then continued until the level dropped and the fuel that had collected in that area had spilled/dripped away.
Perhaps your car`s leak is from the same area/cause? :-?

Lift the boot floor carpet, under there you will see a silver plate held down with 4 screws, undo them and remove the plate you will then see the fuel feed and return and sender/pump

'Hill' would do VB, but we would use 'slope'. So we would say: "when the car is on a slope with the front higher than the back" if that is what you mean to say. :y :y :y

Bu you are getting your message across very well anyway. :y :y :y
