Hi folks
Second attempt at this my first post on TM. First attempt seems to have vanished.
Last time I filled the tank up I may have over done it as when returning to the car I saw it dripping petrol from what appeared to be the bottom of the tank. On further inspection it had stopped which tells me that it was most likely to be the filler pipe and not the tank. At a guess it's that the filler pipe has a split or is not sealing with the tank, I assume it is supposed to seal with the tank?
Does anyone know the size of the filler tube in use on a '74 4/4/4; 51mm?
Am planning to get some stuff from CBS and might add it in.
Thx
Gordon

Welcome.
On the four-seater it is straighter (I assume you mean this by 4/4/4) than on the two seater and they do perish. My '76 one had certainly by the time I got it a few years ago.
I've just landed back in Perth and can measure tomorrow night if that helps (if nobody else does) or Melyvn Rutter, BHM etc. will be able to supply easily enough (mine came from HoE Morgan).
You must have really overfilled to get fuel in to the filler pipe. I assume you have jubilee clips top and bottom?

Do check that the sealing ring on the top of the petrol tank, where the sender exits, is tight and has not perished.

You might want to try Car Builder Solutions, they market flexible fuel filler pipes of different sizes and what seem to be reasonable prices.
