allroad 2001 leaking fuel tank

[subyted555]

decided to fill me motor up wi diesel after having a good weeks wage only to find diesel pisssing art from underneath sourced a new tank off ebay any one fitted one and is it a hard job cheers ted

I would not fit a new tank just yet, check where the leak is, it is probably the rubber seal under the bench seat, a couple of £'s to change or if you filled it up to the neck dripping it may be drpping at the blocked overflow, confirm where the leak is coming from, pull up the rear bench seat and remove to access panels to check the 2 sender rubber seals under there

I have the same problem. How do I check for a blocked overflow? On mine the diesel seems to be dripping down the offside of the tank after being filled (just drips).
