Cheers. It's only a 4" duct, there mightn't be room enough for the fuel line at this rate.

Went in there this pm, not sure where it's coming from now.  Although there is some chaffing where the fuel line enters the duct, it's nowhere near through. I need to trace it, fuel slopping about in the console with all those leccy bits is a worry.

You need to get Groomy in there with his 12v pump to clear it out.
I wonder whether it's leaking on the fuel filter and running/dripping down the hose?
A gaiter over the end of the duct may be a good thing, if you can get one on there.

Dai's suggestion has a certain resonance.... 
Is the hose from the filler intact all the way to the tank?

Why? Are you thinking of swapping the Ribtec in on it? You'll need to wait until the roses in the A frame have gone over and the spuds Fran planted in the pods have been pulled.

can't believe you said that ! Not 2 weeks ago some genius staying here asked if that was my boat (bear in mind it's covered by an official ebay blue cover tightly stretched into a big V) one of my boys quickly quipped 'no, it's his cold frame!'

Check the blanking nut on top of the fuel tank mine leaked and I had to cut a disk of 3mm nitrile rubber to go inside also some Blue Hylomar.
Also the sender gaskets are rubbish, I remade mine from 3mm nitrile rubber from ebay and then refitted, also check you dont have a sharp lip thats cutting the gasket.
Good lUck !

Reckon sender gasket could've been the culprit.

Just downloaded this from cam. I thought the lone RA against the dramatic light and Fal backdrop worked well.
