Hi all, I filled my van up a few days ago and noticed a leak coming from the near side expansion tank lines, near the top of the fuel tank. On investigation I discovered a loose pipe. Could someone have a quick look at these pictures and tell me if I'm on the right track? Cheers.

Nope, that's "Shrek's ears", the end of the vent pipe from the top of the vent tank. That's perfectly correct.

Re: Fuel Expansion Tank
was it a "proper" fill up? i.e. fill till the pump stops, or a "lets put £20 in" one?

Hi all, cheers for the replies.
It was a proper, doubled the vans value, fill up.
I've taken it to a mechanic today who's going to drop the tank to see what's going on.
