Fuel Leak

[R1cho]

I appear to be losing an awful lot of fuel from the engine bay, I have replaced all the leak off pipes even the one that goes to the ip, so i thought it would be sorted, but sadly not, where else should I start looking?

Rotted metal fuel lines. They usually go over the rear axle, but that doesn't mean they can't go anywhere else. If they're leaking it's best to replace them front to back, feed and return. Half day job on ramps, under £30. Easy DIY job.

I know, I did it.

Thanks for the advice but it's my third terrano, already done the fuel lines etc. that's why I'm stumped on where it's coming from

Then I must bow to someone with greater experience, I'm sure they'll be along soon.

Back of the IP? failing that it has to be corroded bulkhead pipes or the leak off's, more likely the leak off's, I'd be checking them again

Sounds to me like you need to get a pressure washer in there and clean it all up so you can see the wood for the trees, I guess it is off side where it shows, so if you have done the main pipe runs chances are that a pipe local to the IP has rubbed through on something, but jet wash off should make it easier to spot, Rick

leak offs have all been done even the long one that goes to the pump

it's actually more centre, will strip off the ic tomorrow in the daylight and start looking again
