Post by **transportersrule** » 12 Dec 2007, 17:09

hi there
I have a leak in one of the long metal water pipes under the van. typically it is over the diesel tank

Ive read sumwhere on here but cant find it that people have replaced these with plastic ones??
any one know what or where to source them?
would I be ok to remove the leaking part of the metal pipe and bridge the gap with some rubber hose??
any help or advise gratefulty recieved

yeah, as a temp repair slide some rubber hose over the leaky bit.....

you dont have to remove the tank to change the pipes if you can get the van high enough off the ground, ive done it.

ive pulled the 2 rubber ones out of the way.
do you need to take both out together?? ive got the shorter one disconnected and have tried to pull it thru but cant get it very far.
thanks for the post steve
