  5. Hi Royski Welcome these lads on here will keep you right i have had loads of good advice off here and am actually just going to do the same job as you with the breathers and fuel pipes as i am also getting a smell of petrol in the van but i can't get to mine for three weeks cause i am stuck offshore working
     
  6. Thanks for your welcome all I feel at home already. All rubber pipes and breathers now replaced, blimey that one from the tank was a bugger. To think that when we first bought the van (June) my daughter and her boyfriend took it down to Hastings and along the coast for a three night trip, I was concerned that I would get a call at some point with something like the key turns but nothing happens but unaware that she was riding around in a fire time bomb!
    I have seen other posts pushing home the point to check your hoses and how true.
    On a lighter note look out for a red bus screaming down a motorway near you, all be it at 50mph!

    Hello and Welcome from The Colonial Contingent :hattip:
     
  11. Didn't want to start a new post, however my 1976 t2 bay is now driving. fuel filter and fuel lines changed. However no.1 on my 'to-do list' is find out where the fumey petrol smell comes from. I have a new fuel pump and hoses. It's very hard to find where it's coming from. The guy that did the hoses was more about the money than care. How do I test? I can see a bit of leakage from the new fuel filter (should there me a gasket?). I'm not an expert....obv. I love my new air-cooled though.
     
  12. meanwhile I'm sorting out the rusting. Do you think that waxoil is the best way forward?
     
  13. Check all the joins shown here for starters

    Once you have done then - check the fuel filler elbow (#1)
