efseiler Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hi, I'm trying to find an (inexpensive) replacement for a leaky fuel filler neck. I noticed that manufacturers such as 'Dorman' and 'Spectra' make such parts but I read some complaints that their parts don't fit exactly. I have a '98 OBW and was wondering if someone could make recommendations... Thanks, --Damien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I've gone the junk yard route twice but its tricky to find one that isn't rusted out. Dealer is the best bet for quality and fitment. Try the online places to save a few $. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efseiler Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Can't go wrong with a dealer...but I got a $50 coupon for Amazon and I'm hoping I can hunt down a good aftermarket one. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sosubeme Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hi, just wanted to chime in that I acquired a Spectra filler neck from Amazon for a '93 Impreza at less than $90 shipped. Didn't have fitment issues. R&R was more time consuming than expected. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efseiler Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Yeah I decided to try my luck and go with a Spectra. I called the dealer and one of theirs was $160...I ordered a used one on Amazon for only 60 bucks. The dealer said that there are two distinct styles of those filler necks. One with a valve and one without. Make sure when you order that you get the right one. --Damien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Used Colorado one $40 + Shipping. I can pull them all day long in the CO yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efseiler Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Well I just got back from the shop... the 'Spectra Premium FN818 Fuel Tank Filler Neck' parts fits almost exactly for my make and model ('98 OBW). They just had to make one tiny modification to fit a part of the vapor recovery system into it. Cheers! --Damien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
