97 2.2 Just bought car. Diesel leaked when filled - dewsbury
Hi,

I just bought a diesel 2.2 turbo Previa.

I filled the tank right to the very top!
Then I noticed diesel spilling onto the ground from my car.

Perhaps, half a gallon spilt??

Is this a recognised fault?
Is it easily fixed?
Any thoughts?

Where did you buy the car from? private or garage... If garage, get it straight round there so they can fix it.
Try to establish where its leaking from. You may have a split tank or a filler neck connection hose to the tank leak. Either way, its best done by a competent repairer.

On one of my cars-not a Toyota- the the fuel filler pipe was connected to the tank with a rubber coupling.I found that one of the hose clips had corroded thro'-it was quite elderly.New clip solved my problem.

Reminds me of a friend's Alfasud years ago. It kept spluttering and dying (as we eventually found out) due to water in the fuel. The flexible hose between tank and filler in the rear wheel arch had a missing/corroded jubilee clip. Every puddle you drove through deposited water plus muck and bullets into the fuel tank. We took the tank out to clean it all out.....
Good luck!
