Fuel tank filler pipe
I have a very rusty fuel filler pipe. I was wondering if replacing it would be a difficult job. Anyone know what type of labor is involved. Can it be done within an hour.

Re: Fuel tank filler pipe
Ok, I'll answer my own question. Dealer wanted $250.00 for pipe. I purchased one for $99.00 online at fillernecksupply.com http://www.fillernecksupply.com/serv...98-1999/Detail
I found a mechanic to install it for 1 hour labor. It was badly rusted and they had a difficult time removing the old pipe. Even with all the trouble, at the very most, it probably only took 35 minutes.

[quote].. Thanks for the web site for a lower price. the oem dealer fillers do go for over 200.oo ... not much to changing ,,,,most important is to clean the area thoughly to avoid debris entering the tank... I would replace fuel filter also....

Yes, I was going to do the fuel filter next. That pipe was sooooo rusty, I didn't realize how bad it was.

Re: Fuel tank filler pipe
Ok, pipe was replaced, but now having difficulty filling the tank. The gas pump keeps shutting off like the tank is fuel. I can't insert the gas handle in all the way, I have to barely insert it to get it to pump.
I had this problem with the old filler pipe at certain service stations like Sunoco. However, with this new pipe the problem is much more severe and seems to be a problem at all service stations. Any advice?
