Fuel leak above tank - how to replace pipe from gauge sender to fuel pump

Post by Prian »

Hi guys

I need help. I have a fuel leak seems to be from the top of the tank I removed the back seat and the fuel gauge sender isn't leaking. Although I suspect the pipe that goes from the fuel sender unit to the fuel pump. How can I replace this pipe without dropping the tank it seems like it runs on the seam of the fuel tank I cannot pass a new pipe through I have tried. Is there any trick or something that I am missing

It's an original old spec 1.6i 2003 (Square dash)

The pipe can pass from the top, in line between the sender and the body, feeding from the bottom is impossible but it can be done from the top.
