Fuel leak possibly?

[Paul Smith]

OK, got another odd one. i went to fill my car up today the fuel started pouring out from behind the passenger door sill just behind the door. So i only half filled her and took her home. I have checked all the pipes but none of them seem damaged or go near that sill so how was the fuel coming out there?

sounds like your carbon cansiter is broke
the overflow is in that area

Or the carbon canister is removed and not blocked off from the old breather pipe on the tank.

where would i find these? I.e what am i looking for?

Thanks

In the engine bay on the bulkhead - it's on the opposite side, but the same position, as the brake servo.

I know the one thought that was it but thought i'd check before ripping it apart. Would it be the actual thing that is broken or a pipe from it, i'll check both any ways.

Has the micras not got an anti-diesel pipe?

Anti diesel pipe?

Anti diesel pipe?

narrow neck and sprung flap, i presume.
are you sure it,s not the filling neck/pipe or vent pipe that run along the inside of the r/arch and down to the sill paul ?

Have you actually removed the carbon cannister?

It's one of the pipes that comes up with the brake pipes and fuel pipes from under the car....if its the one that should be blocked off (i.e. mine is as I have a Greddy tank instead)

Ok my carbon cannister has been removed. where is the breather pipe that should be blocked off?
