    thanks for the advice,i pushed the piece in as far as it would go and made sure the clip locked it.Everything seemed fine and as it should be but it has started leaking , a lot, so it needs a new part.Nothing seems to be missing ,however,and the clip,spring and bearing if it has one all seem good...so there you have it...in a nutshell,etc (thanks to sprinter for advice on the device)

    I wonder what was wrong with the old way of sticking a tube on to the end of of a metal fuel pipe and putting a clip round it....

    Check your little rubber ring- o ring- if it has a tiny tear rip or gouge it will leak.

    The leak isn’t merely a fire hazard. It may be enough to ruin the necessary pressure at the injectors to create a spray pattern the plugs can ignite.

    If the fuel is leaking at the connection from the tank there definitely won't be enough pressure for the fuel injection system to work !
