Fuel filter leaking...
Greetings all,
Today while changing the fuel filter, and putting it back, I found it developed a slight leak at the inlet side, despite tightening the bolt fairly well. Any tighter and I was afraid I'd twist the canister. Any idea what might solve it, besides new washers? I used 1 new washer that came with the filter, but the rest are old. The leak isn't too bad, just about a drop every 30s or so, when pressurised.
Also can new washers be bought from a place like Wilkos or B&Q?
Thanks

..and this was solved by using new washers, from the dealer no less. For free! Imagine...but I did just spend about £250 in the past 2 weeks on parts and @£$%£%^%£@$ VAT.
