120D LCI diesel leak on full tank

[Kayslui]

Morning Gents

So I seem to be having a diesel leak when I fill up the 1 series, the leak seems to come from the rear left near the left back tire.

Question could this be a breather problem or just a worn out pipe maybe?

Lastly does anyone know where I can sort this out?

Thanks

Did you by any chance get the fuel filter changed recently?

Reason for the question, is that there is a heater and strainer that sits at the back of the fuel filter. The plastic pipe on the strainer tends to crack easily if handled roughly.

No I haven't changed it yet but looking to doing a diesel filter change soon,

It only leaks when completely filled correct?
If so, the fuel tank breather pipe is worn through where it feeds via a small hole in the wheel arch to the fuel tank. Friction between the pipe and metal on the arch wears through the plastic.

The pipe is cheap from the agents but to replace it the tank has to be dropped/lowered to unclip the one end of the pipe.

Yes this only happens when I fill up the car.

Approximately including labour how much will I be looking into?
