To fit
IMPORTANT:
When fitting the filler pipe it is important to replace the rubber hoses between the filler pipe and the fuel tank. There is a risk of cracks forming on the hoses after repeated tightening of the hose clips and this can lead to fuel leakage.
It is also important to replace the old plastic screw by a new screw of plastic. In the event of a collision, the plastic screw will break thus avoiding any damage to the filler pipe which is also made of plastic.
