| Description of the problem | Recently, my vehicle was found to have a rusted fuel filler neck. The rusting is toward to "top", well away from road salt and water. The problem is causing fuel fumes to escape, including directly into the passenger compartment. In my case, a full tank of fuel causes the interior fumes to be so strong that the car can not be driven. A search for a replacement filler neck showed the part is on national back-order, leading one to suspect that the problem is common. |
