RE: Fuel Tank

[Ewan Hopkins <Ewan.Hopkins@computeraid.co.uk>]

Is it definitely the tank and not the flex hose between the filler neck &
the tank.  Could also be the seal on the lifter - is there a strong smell
inside the car? Mine leaked after I replaced the lifter pump and. looking
under the car, it looked just like the tank itself was leaking.
You'll need to drop the rear axle to get the tank out.  If you're in
Scotland, phone Solely VW at 01324 717150 (nr. Falkirk) and ask for Grant. 
I'm sure he'd give you a ballpark quote over the phone and he may have a
secondhand tank - I know he's broken a MKII scirocco recently. I'd imagine a
new tank would be pretty expensive.
