Modena, the hoses are all less than three years old, I have followed most of them except for the one to the charcoal cannister and all seem ok (no kinks etc) I will check out closely asap. The cannister (tucked in above the suspension) may be older so may need a check, if any inlets or outlets are blocked, could this be the source of any back pressure in the tank???

The fuel is appearing around the sender unit surrounds so after research on the internet (seems to be a common problem), am also considering cleaning up the sender unit area, replacing the gasket and using some Hylomar gasket sealer (especially on the threads) to see if that will help.
