Not sure if this is the right place for this. My 36 Chevy 1/2 Ton "Tall Cab" pick up has a two piece gas filler neck. The two pieces are joined with a long bolt. There is no gasket and it leaks like a sieve when filling tank. Is there supposed to be some sort of a gasket between the two pieces of filler pipe? Any ideas? Thanks, Charlie
I don't know if this is the right place either. Not really a body work question, but everyone who's had to take one of these apart will have to deal with something like it. We'll leave it here for now and see if someone chimes in.
Does it need to be separated to be able to install, or could a one piece tube work? We had to make a fuel fill for a custom application and ended up using pieces of exhaust pipe to make what we needed. Perhaps you could make it out of one piece to eliminate the leak.
Yes, there is a gasket that goes between the two, Steele Rubber has them, around $40 I believe. There is a two ways to install it, one of them is wrong, contact me for some pictures
My '36 Chevy "high cab" PU has a one piece filler neck that bolts to an iron casting soldered to the top of the original gas tank. There is a cork gasket between the iron casting and the flared end of the filler tube that I made from cork gasket material and it does not leak at all when I'm filling the tank. Is your tank original Chevy or aftermarket?
I've owned this PU since 1965 and I've made some "stealth" modifications like changing the rear gears from 4.11 to 3.55, substituting a 1980s era Jeep tandem master cylinder for the original, substituting modern tie rod ends for the clunky originals and hiding a voltage regulator inside the generator to improve the electrical system performance. If that's of interest please let me know.
