Fuel Leak outside gas tank

Post by RhinO »

Hey Guys, I don't think I have a fuel leak in my gas tank, but the "connector piece from where you fill it to the tank might be rusted out.

Just asking what you guys recommend I do? I have a friend that works at a junkyard so I maybe able to get that piece, bvut I don't know how hard it is to remove and re-install without messing it up., any information would be appreciated!

The Videos below show my problem I think

You need to replace the fuel filler neck. It's a common piece that rusts out due to debris sitting between the plastic cover and the pipe. It's relatively easy to replace. There's three screws/bolts at the top of the fuel filler neck, and you just remove the hoses at the bottom to get it off the tank. Reassemble in a reverse manner.
