Perhaps not the best wording to describe it's location but that's all I could think of at the time. I've found the easiest way to get to it is by using some car ramps. Make sure your using protective glasses and depressurise the fuel tank otherwise you'll swallow a fair bit if your not careful.

Undo both clamps so it's ready to come off, wrap a nice big rag/blanket around the hose on the tank side or even the whole thing. Then remove Sounds like overkill but it stops you from getting a face full of fuel, you'll get some on you regardless but the big rag limits it. Cheers and g'luck Jake

The fuel system can be depressurised by starting the car and removing the fuel pump relay.. Doesn't have to be done, in my opinion it makes sweet FA difference. Cheers Jake

Then turned the key and turned the engine over for about 10 sec's After doing this i found that only a very small amount leaked from the pipes, Just a thought Seeya!
