Probably as expected having disturbed the fuel filler hose (NTC2337) to sap the tub the joint between the hose and the tank is now leaking. I have retightened the jubilee clip to no difference. so now have a couple of questions before I buy a new one:

Firstly only because I am at work and it is raining outside, does anyone know the external diameter of the hose where it connects to the tank so I can order some new jubilee clips/hose clamps and double them up. If not I will get wet this evening and crawl underneath with a tape measure.

Secondly does Hylomar blue work with diesel? I know it is good with petrol as covered the sender gasket on the MGA in it to try and stop that leaking. If it does I will do the same with the pipe before clamping the hose to it.
 
see my build thread i did the recently, i used the LR hose clips as jubes wont do the trick, they cut into it before it seals, they were cheap also did the forecourt filler hose neck seal at same time.

I am already using high pressure turbo clamps. And filled the pipe with hylomer blue. I will clean it down and dust with talc to try and find where it is waking from. It is the filler neck from the station wagon rear body so there is no guarantee it doesn’t have a crack in it as it is new to me. But am hoping it is a hose issue first of all.

the clmaps need to have the triangle relief dohickey on opposite side to the screw etc and yes could well be a cracked neck looks damp on both filler and rtn breather so my money is on filler neck aperhaps caused by perishing filler neck rubber

Well tomorrow’s task is to clean it all up and see what I can spot. And also rummage through my spares as I may have a spare neck in the shed.
 
Well I gave up trying to find what was leaking and fired the parts cannon at it, new filler neck, new foam gasket, new clamps on fuel filler pipe and breather pipe, new fuel filler pipe, all joints coted in hylomar blue before assembling. Only the breather is not new but that is only a couple of years old. Now need to go and fuel up and if it i still leaking I will be very unhappy!

One thing I did notice is the new fuel filler pipe seems to be very soft (even softer than when new) and almost looks blown at the joints even though it is only about a month old. This is quite the opposite of my experience with these as they age where by I think they go very stiff and hard. Any one else experienced this with new ones, did i buy to cheap a version that is not happy with the horrible ethanol content?

My new one was gen LR and went on like a dream, i popped in hot water first preparing for the knuckleskinning fight, it shot on no problem at all, perhaps the polymer tech nowadays is better ! No Hylomar just dry fit.
 
I was going to rant and be very unhappy that it is still leaking. But I now have an injector pump pouring fuel (LINK) so am unsure if the fuel on the filler begins from the filler neck or from the pump that has covered everything underneath and the back door! I will recite the filler neck once the pump is repaired.

Land Rovers are in a league of their own for breaking down without even moving.
Son's 200tdi has decided it wants a fuel pipe leak now for no reason whatsoever.
