Ahhh, thought i recognized the car. Bit young for my memory to be failing haha. If i lived closer to manukau id go get the parts from zebra. Depending on the condition of the fuel seal it might need more grease around it. Not to sure if its standard but mine was packed with grease between the pipe and seal.

Try Ford Fiesta 1.3, just remove the bleed pipe and screw in a bung.  Cheap and plentyfull.
