From recent and past experience, the fuel elbow that connects the filler pipe to the tank, can be reconnected simply by undoing the tank brackets a little bit, so the tank is a bit lower.
When I say a little bit, I mean most of the way.
Dont take the fuel elbow off the tank and you shouldnt have any fuel to deal with!
Or check, see if a split fuel elbow is a HDi thing. If it is, change it now. The Elbow is only £30. Youll lose lots of fuel when it starts leaking.
I know it is a big problem on 1.8 petrols, but not sure about HDis. I wish i'd done mine when I swapped the fuel tank 2 years ago!
