Bugger, my Hippo is now leaking diesel badly where the filler neck joins to the tank. The joint seems to be crimped so I can't tighten it up. How do I get this joint sealed up properly, is it a stealer only job or can garages re-seal these?

Ah, that's what I wanted to know! Thanks.
Is there then some sort of sealant I can use to stop it leaking again?
