Thread: Fuel filler neck cracked

  1. #1

    Default Fuel filler neck cracked

    I am looking for the plastic? , rubber? from the fuel filler neck to the tank on a '67 m715, does anyone have any idea where to get one? If they are not available can the rubber sleeves for joining PCV pipe with a mismatch be used with gasoline? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    Is it leaking fuel? It's common for the fuel filler neck to develop cracks. However, these don't usually cause a problem. Unless yours is leaking fuel or you are working on a total restoration I wouldn't really worry about it.

    However, if you do want to replace it, try Memphis Equipment. They might still have one around. They are getting hard to come by.

    I checked into having a manufacturing company here build one from aluminum to match the rubber one. They told me they can do it but it would have relief cuts that they would weld up in order to make the turn and diameter reduction so as not to have to change anything up. They wanted $180 to build it which seemed high until you figure what it would cost to replace the rubber several times. Might have them make one up when I get out of the hole from the rest of the truck.

    I do not believe that the rubber pipe connectors for PVC pipe will work. I think the rubber will not hold up to the gasoline. It would be worth checking with the manufacture though to see if gasoline could be run through it, but if my memory servse me (which it doesn't sometimes) they are not usable for fuel of any kind.

    If you use rubber, gasoline will ruin it...you MUST use Neoprene with gasoline.

    Last March, AB Linn had 1 left and it had a cut on it from somebody using a knife to open the shipping box. He sold that one. This is one of those parts like defrostor ducts, cab corner moldings and a few other selected parts that the NOS supply is rapidly decreasing and once they are gone, they will be gone.

    If you make or have fabricated a workable alternative, please post pictures and a cost break down.
    Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.
