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?

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

Before anyone else says it - get rid of those jubilee clips and use proper hose clips.

Thanks, its it a leak from the filter itself. Have ordered a replacement.

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