Title: Fuel tank filler pipe
Post by Kjetil S on Mar 10^th, 2007, 9:08pm

Hello,

can any of you seemingly all-knowing souls tell me how to disconnect the fuel filler pipe from the cars bodywork?

I searched the forum and only found a mention that there were "a couple of screws at the filler neck", but where? ::)

I've had a good look up there, but can't find a single screw.

the screws i think your looking for are behind the filler cap open the flap and you should see it.

Prise off the plastic collar on the fuel filler neck, then remove the two 10mm bolts.

If you need to remove the entire filler neck and the roll over valve ( did you know there was such a thing ? ) then it's just low tech jubilee clips holding it together.

Easier to get to if you remove the wheel and the wheel arch plastic liner.
