fuel tanks grommet
Can you replace the gromet near the fuel cap without removing the tank? Maybe cut the old one off and heat up a new one and slip it on? Mine is really dry and cracked. Thanks

Re: fuel tanks grommet
Yes you can but it's a PITA.
Go easy, work slow and watch the paint.

Re: fuel tanks grommet
yes.......almost as easy just to take the tank out........NOW...try to find a GM gasket or an NOS or something other than what everyone else sells. I have tried several from several vendors and every one developed smalll cracks after a few months. JUNK!!!!
I have done it in warm weather, cold weather and had the same results.

Re: fuel tanks grommet
Thanks for the info. What grommet did you have luck with? Do you have a part number or a good aftermarket company? I've been using lmc.
