    V reg 406 Estate.

    Fuel pipe return going up under back seat to pump. This has been rubbing on
    the bodywork quite happily for 6 years or so & finally broke through on our
    170 mile journey to holiday. Nice one. Caused huge hassle/upset/loss of
    fuel. Obviously could have been quite nasty. Luckily only leaked when pump
    was running.

    The pipe is reasonably well hidden, but belongs to a section that joins at
    base of tank/return inlet/ carbon filter.

    Peugeot dont stock it directly, but will sell a length of new hose & a pair
    of clips for about £3

    Check yours soon...

    I had a fuel filter (under sill on rhs of car just behind front door) broken
    by a stick and had the same problem - only I was about 50 km away from
    petrol in the Oz bush. A short length of ball point pen case of the correct
    diameter (Luckily) and a bit of wire replaced the filter - thank heavens
    Peugeot put quick release hose clamps on either side of the filter.
