Hi everyone my little 2000 156 TS 2.0 ltr is weeping petrol where the fuel inlet on the fuel rail meets the main fuel line.
Is there a repair kit I can get?
Getting a bit worried about the petrol vapour.

Is it a click fitting? Pop it off if so, the o-ring may be nicked or scuffed. That's a pretty simple fix; reassemble with a wipe of petroleum jelly or similar.

Thanks for that it worked a treat Citroenbender.
It worked out I have another problem fumes coming from the back behind the rear seat. Where the pump is housed on the fuel tank.
Where the return enters the top of the housing petrol is weeping out of the fitting.
I have uploaded a pic of the clip fitting where it joins the return to the tank. I tried the same method to no avail.. Is the filling available brand new?
Thanks for the help in anticipation.

Bet its not the fitting, but is seeping out of a crack in the top of the fuel pump somewhere.

Thanks everybody. I've read the page, I'll price out a replacement while I figure what I'm going to do. I'll let you know how I went.
Thanks again.
