The fuel filler neck on my Explorer is trashed. The truck is from PA and the filler neck is rusted through in places. I can smell gas and it sets off my CEL. I think this thing is way beyond JB Weld and it looks like the previous owner put tar or something all over it. I tried to order a new one online, but Ford discontinued the part in '03, and no dealer anywhere has one. I went to Pull-A-Part and found one, but some a** hacked the plastic part of it up when they were taking out the gas tank. The metal section looks like new, but the plastic tubing is crimped on and the shop I took it to said there was nothing they could do with it as far as crimping new hoses on. So, has anyone successfully saved a filler neck that has been cut in the plastic section? How?
Also, can I use the filler neck assembly from a 91-94 in my 95? The 91-94 assembly uses hose clamps to hold rubber hoses to the metal section of the filler. It has the main hose and the vent hose, like mine, but my concern is that the different style of filler neck could cause gas pumps to click off at the wrong time. Also, I'm not sure how the plastic ends of the original filler neck attach to the gas tank, so I don't know if I could just attach rubber hose with hose clamps.
