WTB: Fuel Filler Neck for 74 02


Manuel

Recommended Posts

You might consider getting a new one, even though they're a bit expensive. Most used ones are 40+ years old and will have tiny cracks on the UNDERSIDE, not visible, once installed…. but they'll let in a great deal of fuel fumes.

 

If you buy a used one, ask the seller turn it upside down and stretch it, to inspect for cracks. Took me WEEKS to figure out my "perfect" looking filler neck had cracks under it, that I could't see until I removed it from the car.

 

Hope this helps!

Seconded. I had a similar experience.
