Thanks Gary, found it, yes it is awkward and rusty, the second bolt was left in situ and new earth lead connected and connected near the bonnet stay pivot, had a long earth lead, not been out yet to get the motor up to temp, but seemed to start from cold much easier, cheers, Derek@@garyspracticalworkshop357

I am having this same issue with my Ducato I’m going to give this a try see if it solves it

Haha it looked super easy to fit the ring back on. I don’t know why but I can’t get the thing back on. It always is at an angle and gets blocked. Every watertank has a better fit. Do you have any tricks?

If you are talking about the fuel pump ring it sounds to me as if you may have it cross threaded, easily done...check your threads

i have a ducato that start and runs for 2 sec then stalls

Hi I think my tank is leaking from the sender cover, what is the spanner called and where did you get it from, also any idea what the seal may be called

Are you are refering to the large ring tool that is used to undo the the top seal threaded ring, if so, I got mine on Amazon, but be carefull which one you purchase. the seall is an "O" ring be carefull when tightening as it is easly pinched, cheers Gary
