Gas filler neck

[SS317]

I have gas fumes in the cab so I bought a new filler neck piece from classic parts.
Now I've done a few searches and can't find what I'm looking for.

What is the easiest way to install this new neck? Do I need to loosen up the fuel tank so it will slide back? I don't see how it would come in from the outside cap area. Please steer me in the right direction.

Stock tank, behind seat.

Are you talking about the rubber groment or the actual tube itself ? I bought a new groment and carefully used a screwdriver to push it back in place. If your talking about the tube cant help you there.

I just did this last weekend. I spent some time trying a few different approaches. It ended up being much easier than I thought. Just soap up the new grommet real good and push it in with a screw driver. I used a #1 stubby flathead. (I wrapped the end of the screwdriver with black tape since I had new paint) It only took about 2 minutes to pop it in place.

Make sure to use a lot of soap!

also, I should mention that I have a buddy that had the gas fume problem with his truck... It ended up being the small rubber grommet on the fuel sending unit wire.

What I have looks like a piece of radiator hose and it looks like it goes inside the cab.

If you’re talking about the connector hose that goes between the tank outlet and the filler neck, I believe the easiest way to replace it is to loosen the clamps and pull the steel filler neck out of the body. While it’s out of the way, push the hose off the tank outlet and install the new hose. Study the orientation of the hose clamps, because some are easier to access than others. You might find it easier to replace the clamps with a different type so a socket can be used instead of a screwdriver.

Before the neck is reinstalled remove and replace the new body grommet if you bought one of these as well. Finally reinsert the filler neck through the grommet into the tank connector hose and tighten the clamps. Make sure the height of the filler neck is convenient for removing and replacing the cap.

Ok, I looked under there and it's exactly as you described. I cannot, however, figure out how to get to that dam clamp to release it. I don't even know if I can cut it off.

The rubber was really hard on mine when I did it. I ended up making a slice across where the clamp was and expanding the slice with a screwdriver to get it off.

Yeah, you may be able to cut that rubber lengthwise to get it out.

I think I pulled my whole tank out, neck and all.
Took the neck sections apart, put it back together, tightened the hose clamps, and then slid it all back into place.

I just did this, it was a royal PITA. If you don't have skinny hands, it will be even worse. First thing I did was disassembly of course. Next I undid the straps, tilted the tank up, and pulled it toward the passenger side to get it out of the way. Next, installed body grommet. Installed metal filler, and hammered into place with large rubber hammer. Then installed rubber filler neck and upper band clamp. Then I lifted and tilted the tank again, but pushed toward driver side to slide it into rubber filler neck. Then installed lower band clamp, and then tank straps. Like I said, if you don't have small skinny hands, best of luck to you.
