Are you first putting the grommet into the body opening, and then running the filler tube through the installed grommet?

The entire inside hoses and neck appear brand new. wow! thanks for any advice. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | you won't get the grommet over the outer wide part of the fill neck .... those hoses inside are special fuel resistant parts and quite tough - need to grab each end one at a time with some pliers and work them a bit to break loose before the filler will come out, still with effort

I was thinking of using a little soap on them hoses to try and persuade them but think they are more water tight than a submarine. NASA could learn a lot from them hoses!! | | |
