Geo Metro Fuel Filler Neck Refab

The fuel filler neck on the geo goes down the back of the fender, and is covered by a piece of plastic. Once dirt and water get up here, it's rust heaven.

My filler neck rusted 2 holes through it.

This is a Dealer only item at $366!!!!!!!! Me and the guy at the parts counter just laughed.

So on to Napa for some Fuel Filler line, and on to Home Depot for some Galvenized pipe fittings.



I needed to keep the vent, luckily, that was the only part still in good shape, so I cut about an inch below the vent, giving me room to attach a new line.

Fuel filler hose is not flexible. Radiator hose can not be used for fuel, it will eat it.



It's a little over an inch from the tire, just far enough not to rub. When I have a little more time I can make some adjustments and get it tucked in a bit farther.



Total price, about $20
