My old Corsa B has a leaky fuel filler breather (you have two pipes running from your tank to your cap, one for fuel the other for air return). Apparently they are reasonably easy to replace but the scrappy I spoke to said you'd be likely to damage one when removing it and typically they ask for money upfront because of this! | |

quote: for me about a fiver for the pipe and i fitted myself, real dirty job as you get covered in petrol. or as ian said you can have a hole in the tank (if no drips it is usually on the top) again you probably wont notice any leaks untill you fill it up. pipes are vauxhall specific and would need to get them from scrappy or vaux dealer (15-20 quid depending on which pipe). | |

quote:New tank is about 100, plus a bit of labour as you need to loosen the handbrake cable as well as the straps to remove, in addition to all the pipes. Pipes I would source from a scrappy if you can get under one, failing that they're between 11 and 24 quid from Vauxhall each and there are a few of them so you need to know which one. Can also be the filter which is a service item anyway and not particularly expensive, perhaps a fiver or so. | |
