Help! Diesel leak - currently broken down

[bobby_badger]

Hi

2 hours into a 4 hour journey this evening I noticed that the fuel gauge was going down too quickly and there was a spray on the rear window. Pulled over in a Tesco car park and diesel is leaking from a big block in the front half lengthwise. See photo.

Green Flag (or someone) are on their way but they're probably just going to recover us somewhere. Not sure what to do. Any Bongo experts out there willing to hazard a guess what the issue might be? That might influence where we end up. I know a place near us (Dorset) that does diesel repairs etc. Or maybe our usual garage? Sorry, long shot I know.

Thanks,
Iain

Update - seems it was a split pipe/hose from the diesel pump. Someone is coming to fix it in the morning. Fingers crossed that will be it and we can start our holiday

Oh glad its a "simple" fix some of the diesel pump seals are easy but others are a lot more of a problem!
Hope you get back on your way tomorrow, best of luck!

Thanks Geoff. It wasn't too bad to get to. It was right under the driver's seat but the diesel appeared to be leaking from further back, so hopefully that's the only cause and we can get on our way!
