Hi,
I have just noticed some fuel on the ground under my van. It seems to be tricking down the fuel filter onto the cables and on the ground.

Any suggestions on how to fix this please?

Re: Leak from fuel filter
thats a fuel pump, check if its leaking from the pump or the pipework, if its from the pump itself it will need replacing, if its from the pipework that will need addressing, either replacing or tighten the clips

Re: Leak from fuel filter
Before anyone else says it - get rid of those jubilee clips and use proper hose clips.

Yes - jubilee clips tend to close in an oval in the small sizes leading to leaks.
