Failed the CA Emission test again...

[e21pilot]

I have past with flying colors that 3 times but this time, the dreaded fuel filler neck is leaking and I failed the evap test.

I have seen people remove the gas tank or the bed in order to replace the fuel filler neck. I wonder if it possible to do the replacement with the bed and tank still in place?

I have a 1992 2WD extended cab Ranger and it looks like it could be possible but just wanted to see if anyone has had success doing so.

I have a bodylift on my '85, even with the extra room I don't think I could get the filler neck assembly out of the tank with the tank in place.

It would probably be easiest to pull the bed, the filler neck assembly is sandwiched between the frame and bed.

You may do some soul searching about replacing the fuel pump while its right there in your face too...

i have swapped them out with a body lift.


but loosen the passenger side bed bolts and pull the passenger side and unplug the tail lights and jack it up a bit, it will make it easier.

is it a metal tank?
