   Hi All
   
   I seem to be having a small fuels leak from the rear passenger side of my furio. Its coming from a small cylinder which i prosume is a external fuel pump not really sure just guessing. Has anyone else had this problem and how did they fix it?????

   That "small cylinder" is your fuel filter. Is the leak coming from the filter or one of the fuel pipes? Should be an easy repair.

   could be the fuel filter, thats small and cylinderical, does it have one fuel pipe either side, and also with the engine running does it make any noise as a pump would, and as far as im aware they dont have external fuel pumps, hope this helps

   its the filter, if its leaking from the csin then just change the filter easy fix, check its not from the lines also though. if it is there also easy to change anyway

   Thanks for your help, sorry the discription was so poor i had no clue what it was, for some reason thought the fuel filter would be in the engine bay. Thanks though loads help.
