Fuel Heater Pipes

[belial]

Having just passed another MOT with no problems, (second year running) the guy who does my MOT's as put an advisory on the MOT slip about the heater pipes going down to the fuel tank. There is a very small leak hardly noticable but it is there, it's the connection between aluminium pipes and rubber connectors, the jubilee connectors are showing water escape stains, so i will be getting them replaced, it will cost me around

I don't think there are any pipes going down to the fuel tank, there are pipes to the rear heater if you have a diesel engine. I would be inclined to remove the clips and rubber pipes, clean the ally ones up and smear them with RTV and reassemble them.

 

All cars always use more fuel in the winter. How much has you fuel consumption changed?

I think he means miles not MPG. If you use cost as a measure rather than quantity of fuel then you will do less miles for
