Had a spare hour so thought I would reseal my fuel filter again, to try and stop it leaking! plus have a go at the front rad support earth’s as well as swap out my inertia switch for one I got second hand (at least one job worked!)
First I noted the support bracket was snapped and not complete, then the bolt holding the Earth’s snapped! More drilling another day.
Inertia switch worked a treat though, looks like the old one was sticking and intermittent.
As for the fuel filter. I removed and reseated the 90dgree fitting with even more ptfe. Re connected and yet again fuel pee’d out!
Removed it from the car and noticed the fitting even though tighter than tight moved slightly in the housing. Hacksaw later to inspect inside, and the whole insert is separate from the aluminium housing so can spin round so leaks like a sieve!
