Help 3 times now we have had the fuel filter leak, had the filter changed and checked the unit for cracks etc. seems to happen after a run then stopped and started again. last time we had been on pitch for 5 days,drove 10 miles, shopped at tesco,no problem, then pulled onto their petrol pumps and nearly flooded their forecourt.
we are stuck in north Devon, near Barnstable with just about half a tank.
Anyone had this happen to them or got any ideas as to cause. will add that the signalI have at the momentis not good somight be slow answering.

Hi,
If you do a search,someone had the same problem a couple of weeks ago.
managed to get as far as Portsmouth last night, however the situation got worse, we called out the AA and the Patrolman removed the fuel filter unit and connected up the two fuel pipes as a temp measure. I have to say he did this in a pitch black area in a short space of time.
I shall now go and look for the previous post.
Had Stormonts of Hilldenborough, main agents nearest to me, sort it all out. cost me £50.still if done will be worth it, but god 'elp them if it leaks again.

We are just back from a 6 week trip to Croatia in a brand new (June 11) Autotrail Savannah - 3ltr Fiat Ducato Auto.
Broke down in Italy with Fuel pouring out from under the engine. Had to be towed to the nearest Fiat Garage to be sorted (Fiat Euro Assist), Never really new exactly what the problem was due to language difficulties, but sorted OK and on our way after 6 hours.
Just filled up after a long run from Dover and we have fuel poring out again. No idea what the problem is but luckily didn't realise until we were parked up on our drive, just a few miles from the Petrol Station.
Stormont did not know what was wrong. They put the fuel filter unit back on ( the AA took it off to get us home), bleed the system etc and road tested it and let it run for a while and nothing leaked. it ran fine for the 40 odd miles home as well.they suggested that it could have been a loose connection into the filter that was cured when they re-fitted it.I did wonder if it was due to a non branded fuel filter used during my last service, I will ask about that as I dont know what was used.
Can those of you that have had this fuel leak from the filter area please say if you had the vehicle serviced with genuine parts or the cheaper patterned filters.
