I'm also suffering from a fuel leak problem on my 52 plate T260 SWB Mk6 Transit. You guys who regularly post here have been awesome - I've spent the afternoon reading all the posts relating to similar problems so I'm a bit better informed but I'm no Diesel specialist.
The problem is I don't have the luxury of bosch specialists, e-bay, Ford Service Centers with above apprentice level of experience , or access to a decent spare parts stockist (used or new). Add to that some otherwise very competent mechanics that don't speak English and who get very nervous near anything involving computers and engine management systems and I'm a bit fooked before I start.
Oh the joys of owning a Transit in Montenegro (former Yugoslavia)
So pleeeease any help would be much appreciated.
The first question is - Have I identified the problem correctly?
Based on what I've read in this forum and what my mechanic tells me - Diesel is leaking from my fuel pump solenoid (took a while to translate that from Serbo-Croat I can tell you:-) Not helped by the fact that I wouldn't recognise a fuel pump solenoid if it were to leap out from the bonnet and slap me round the face.
Here's the pic - is the item arrowed the solenoid?
Given the difficulties I face regarding spares, mechanics and lack of specialists in engine management software, as first step I plan to ask my mechanic to try the bodge I found in this thread http://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54578&start=15.
What do you think?
