morning folks,

got a job i really don't fancy but i need to do it.

got to replace the fuel filler pipe, from the filler cap to the tank.

got all the parts i need to do it but i'm unsure on how to go about it,
ideally i'd prefer to do it without dropping the tank,

anyone know how to go about it?
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

yep, no mention from what i could see,

managed to get it done, surprisingly easy to do if a little fiddly.

cheers mart,
makes me laugh, have done bottom end & top end rebuilds before no hassle,
but replacing a fuel filler neck? has me in a panic before hand :eek:
