Hi,

I had this problem on my Scorpio 24v. The local garage depressurised the fuel line, then cut out the bad pipe and replaced it with flexible fuel hose (Halfords approx £6) slid 30cm over each end of the old pipe. They secured it with 2 jubilee clips at each end. When I queried this they said that this was the method that the local Porsche dealer used on 944's which commonly rust their fuels lines at the rear and to be fair this repair has never leaked and lasted a few years now.
