bad fuel leak
Discovery II diesel 2004.
Hi Guys, looking for a bit of advice, reversing up a lane parked up and saw a trail of 12" puddles of fuel. It appears to be dripping off the tow bar but the there was a lot rain yesterday so I have stood it to dry out. It appears to only leak when the engine is running so I reckon I am pumping it out. What do I need to be looking for, rotting tank fuel conections, do I need to drop the tank. Any advice would be helpful, supposed to be doing some long haul visits this Christmas, not looking good.
Many thanks Brian

Not familiar with D2s or diesels, but the RAVE manual will probably tell you where your fuel lines, filter, pump, etc. are located so you can check for the most likely leak spots. In the meantime, I would recommend not driving at all. Too risky that you might ignite some of your leaking fuel, not a good way to spend the holidays.
