More fuelling issues :(
After having the fuel lines checked, the tank checked & the fuel pump checked by a very knowledgeable mechanic, the initial problem with my car cutting out at the 3/4 tank mark is still there.
Unfortunately it now Also appears to have a petrol leak dripping down behind the o/s/r wheel. I assume this is the side that the main pump is on? Does anyone know if it would be an incorrectly seated pump, or if there is any fuel lines around the o/s/r outer area of the tank or whether it would be most likely the tank would be split or damaged somewhere?

Fuel cutting out
Find the reason for the fuel leak first...does really sound like the fuel pump hasnt been seated properly or there maybe an issue with the pipes feeding through from the other tanks...
Trust me...it is a real b*tch getting that fuel pump in right...

Isn't the fuel filter in front of the offside rear wheel?
I'm going for the fuel pump. Not expecting to be right though. Am I ever?
