Re: fuel tank leak
When you change the pump you have to buy a seal-ring kit too from Peugeot for about £5.00.
I wonder if the pump's been changed and not had one, it's missing, or it's not tight enough ????

My old pump had a load of epoxy put around the old o-ring when the pump was replaced. I would suggest getting a new o-ring and getting it installed by a mechanic. Its a bit dangerous driving around with diesel leaking inside the car
