Fuel Inlet Rubber Seal.

Post by Shhtuart »

The rubber seal that sits between the petrol hole ( :lol: ) and the body has essentially melted. Not sure if it's the petrol that's done it but that's the only thing that I can think of.

Does anyone know what the part number is? It's an issue as rain water can seep into the tank and that's not good.

Well it was no good guys.

The part I ordered wasn't what I thought it was.

The replacement was for the gasket around the filler neck, I am after the one that sits between metal bit that the petrol nozzle goes into and the filler neck.

Oddly, there's no part number for it, only a full replacement.

Might need to silicon it back in :/

I was thinking of using this:

or making my own from this:

I used a petrol resistant silicone paste to seal it up.

Fiddling around with rubber gaskets might work but it's a whole lot easier to just silicone it.
