Right... I was servicing the car and whilst changing the fuel filter I snapped one of the plastic pipes which meant part of it was still in the hose / fuel line. This made it impossible to get out and therefore ended up with me needing to remove the line to properly sort it.
The problem is I do not know how to access the other end of the line... Is there anybody who knows and that can help me find and remove it by posting on this thread...
Thank you, this is urgent as I need my car for Monday if possible.

I think this is one for Edward. I'm sure he has had a tinker with them in the past

Ok mate cheers!
I've got a feeling the petrol tank has to come out. Probably be easier to locate where it goes after.

Which side are you talking about? From filler to tank or tank to engine?

One pipe goes over the top of the tank to the pump...the others go straight along the floor.
Have a look at my project and there's pictures there of the tank when it's off the car.

I'm talking about the pipe that goes from the filter up into the car, alongside the tank. im wondering whether taking the tank out will give me better access to the pipe because at the moment it's very difficult to fix from underneath the car! Need to know where the pipe goes?
Edward is it ok if you link me to the page in your project thread with the fuel tank off as its 60 something pages long ha!

The pipe that goes over the tank can be replaced without moving the tank. It's a bit tight between the body and tank but it can be done. Is it the tube going into the filter that's broken off?

In the 2nd picture you can see the pipe I'm talking about. The one that has the three junction on it that goes into the filter. But it's not the tube going into the filter, it's the bit that goes up onto the top of the fuel tank that broke off meaning the pipe is basically unusable. I've bodged it for now but I really don't think I can remove this pipe without removing the fuel tank.
Is the fuel tank easy to remove?

You access the top of the pipe from under the back seats. You do not have to remove the tank to replace it.
