Fuel Leak

I've got a fuel leak, which isn't surprising as I think the hole was created when the glow plug arm welded itself to a pipe the other week. Now I need to replace the pipe in question so a couple of questions...

1. What's the pipe called?
2. Where can I get one?
3. Anyone replaced one of these before? Are there any pitfalls to replacing it?

Cheers

Hi jon,
Its called a leak off pipe,its used to return excess fuel back to the tank,you may be able to braze it or fix it with a piece of plastic tubing. Failing that you will get on from a Mazda dealer or a Pump repair shop.

Cheers..

If the hole is not too big, split a piece of plastic pipe and slide it on with the split away from the hole.then tighten a jubilee clip around it and check for leaks.

This should get you out of trouble whilst deciding how to replace it. It worked for me once with a power steering pipe. Not reccomended for brake pipes, though.
