Re: Replacing fuel filler neck hose

This may sound obvious, but first time around I tried to do it without removing it and it was a major PITA.
Yeah I just used the KFL22 replacement, and it fit ok. I did have remove the filler neck to get it to fit. Although if I have to do it again, I think I would use some white out or something, and draw a straight line down the length of the tube, so that when I get it on I can tell if it is straight or twisted. Because I have a feeling that the hose is torqued a weird way and is under undue stress and is going to fail early.
