GTi cabby fuel tank.

Just noticed a slight leak from the tank when I say leak it doesn't drip or anything just must be a tiny perforation. You can smell it and see a slight wetness but no hole as such.

Anyway how easy is it to drop the tank????

you need to drop the rear axle  8O  sounds bad but its not that much of a drama

Your right does sound bad. :cry:

Check the seal round the tank sender unit….. mine was leaking, reeking of petrol…cheap to replace….

pics here (scroll down to the Lift Pump)

Checked this earlier in the year, but suppose no harm in having another look.

I cleaned up all the area in question but can't now see where its coming from :dontknow:  Will be attacking it again later on. Although drove round the block and could still smell it.

Would it still leak from the seal if the tank is never full I only ever put ?10 in then use it until it hits the red mark.???????
