The Rubber grommet on my 1995 Mustang 3.8 has dry rotted and fallen apart, i lose alot of gas very quickly. I am trying to take the filler neck off so that I can install the new grommet. But I cant manage to get the neck off. I cant push it further into the Gas tank, and I can pull it through the side of the car. I tried bringing it up through the trunk but there isnt enough room.</P>


Could anyone help me on this please? Im tired of getting 10mi to the gallon I recently bought this car about 2 months ago and have always smelled a little gas on it, but I discovered my problem after filling the tank up. </P>


I went to Suburban Ford here in Sacramento and got the new Grommet ( $17.97 ) and its a far cry from my rotted chunked out gommet with rubber hanging from it.</P>


Any help and idea's are appriciated. Thanks guys.</P>

Sincerely Eric.</P>

 

really the only way to get to it if you are having problems with it through the trunk is to tackle it from underneath...however unless you have the luxury of a hydraulic lift its gonna be a bitch....plus you will have to remove your rear fascia(bumper) thats easy enough....just plastic clips and a few bolts here and there...if you want the hard labor instructions let me know id be happy to help you out with it....luv jenna
