Help! 2001 V6 fuel filler neck
Hey all. I'm new around here. I need some help.
I need to replace the fuel filler neck. I managed to leak gas all over the gas station yesterday. There is a small hole in it right where the nozzle of the pump evidently would hit the interior of the neck.
That being said, the neck IS a seperate part from the tank, right? I don't imagine it'd be too difficult. I just need to know what I need to get/what I should ask for at the auto parts store. That, and some basic info on how to do it.
I need to replace this thing asap and I don't have the cash to pay a professional. I'm kinda behind the 8-ball right now.
I'd appreciate any info you can give!

It is a seperate piece, You will not find it at a parts store, you will have to goto the dealer or a salvage yard. You will need to get a new grommet from the dealer as well.
