just finished GSS340 fuel pump install. filler pipe Question.

[Dan95-5.0]

just finished installing my GSS340 fuel pump. (255 lph hi-pressure).

i put a new fuel tank to filler seal. how far does the filler neck go in to the tank?

the reason i'm not sure if i have it in right is because i see those ridges on the filler neck and i think its supposed to be right up against the seal. even tho it doesnt seem possible

if you have pics that would be great.

thanks

anybody?

the ridge is for the bracket (the one that attaches the filler neck to the tank)

Me thinks we have a winner ^^. That bracket should have like a 8 mm headed bolt securing it above.

ya thats what i thought. to keep the bracket in place.

i actually foregot to put the damn bracket in the first time i tried putting in the filler pipe. luckily i had a problem putting in the damn filler.


On a side note.... guese how much i paid for that filler neck seal?

$67 Canadian!!!!!!! mine was in two pieces when i took the old one out. so i needed it

can that filler neck seal be changed without dropping the tank? i have one sitting in the garage but i've been too lazy to change it because i dont wanna drop that tank again.

you dont have to completely remove the tank, but you do have to lower it.

taking out the filler neck with the old seal was a little tough. putting it in the new seal was a pain. my brother was pushing the neck into the tank and i was pushing the fuel tank towards him.

lowering the tank isnt a problem. just put a jack with a 2x4 to support the tank and remove the 3 bolts holding the straps. remove the 3 8mm bolts under the gas cap. then remove the 4 bolts under the car holding the filler neck to the floor of the trunk. and then the 1 bolt from the filler neck bracket to gas tank. lower the tank a few inches and remove the filler neck with some struggle lol. lube up that new seal and filler tube with some petrolyum jelly and slide it in.
