[99 OBW fuel filler tube, replacement won't fit]

Hey. Did you get the pm I sent the other day? I might be interested in the neck and valve. Where are you located?also, does anybody know what size of hose I will need? Thanks

Yeah I did, sorry I have been camping and just checked my email this morning. I actually am selling the car to my mechanic. But here is the link to that valve. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F3DSYTI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00

Well I got to workin on it today. And I'm not so sure now. I am scratchin my head. My TCU(trans control unit) or TCM(trans control module) whatever you wanna call it. Aren't they the same. I don't have a 20 pin connector, I have 2 that are 24 and only have 23 wires in them. Took some pics. I did find the ECU and it is a 20 pin connector, but I'm not messin with it.

Also ordered this, http://www.amazon.com/Spectra-Premium-FNA04-Filler-Shut-Off/dp/B00D2LOKPK/ref=au_as_r?ie=UTF8&Make=Subaru%7C13&Model=Legacy%7C64&Year=1999%7C1999&n=15684181&s=automotive&vehicleId=4&vehicleType=automotive  but I have to wait forever to get it! No parts stores had it, could hardly find it online, so amazon it was.

 

Alright guys, instead of waiting forever for the spectra brand I tried asking around to different parts stores. So while I happened to be on Amazon there was a suggestion/recomendation for the Subaru brand valve. It was 20 bucks more but I would get it in a few days and not have to wait a month and a half lol. So no I'm waiting for some warmer weather and gotta get a few more little things, hose clamps, nuts to hold the valve to the filler neck, maybe new rubber hoses.

 

So I have this guy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F3DSYTI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it's perfect!

I checked my receipt files. I have both a 98 and 99 Outbacks. I could only find one receipt, but not sure which receipt was for what car. I did buy the Dorman brand, and the product was good. Only thing.......when putting on the gas cap, I have learned not to tighten until it clicks. To do so, then requires pliers to remove the cap. So, now I just tighen up the cap until it feels tight before it clicks.

 

I looked up info on the Dorman brand part # 577-086. I can't remember from looking at it, if it is the one I used. As I posted earlier, the one that fit my car was the one that was designed for the 2.2 motor, even though I have the 2.5 motor.

 

About the only way to know in advance for your car, is to pull off your road wheel on right rear, then look at the filler tube, or even take pictures of the filler tube. You may even have to remove the plastic shield to get a good look at the filler tube. Compare what you see with pics of the filler tube designed for the 2.2 and 2.5 motors to find the one that fits your car. The fill pipes are very different because of vacuum hose attachments. The '99 model year Subies was a transition year. Seems like they cleaned out the parts bin with old style parts lying around, and also added new style parts on some cars that became standard on the 2000 model. So, who knows what you got.

Hey thanks alot! I did take some pics the other day and man was it filthy under there. I did punch in the 2.2 motor when looking at filler necks and I am 99% sure I have the one like the Dorman # 577-086. And of course I can't upload more 2MB pic size      Anyway yeah it looks like it!

Final update..............installed a replacement filler pipe neck to gas tank of my 99 OBW. I encountered confusion on buying the correct part on line. What's listed to fit a 96-99 OBW did not fit my car. What did fit, was the part made to fit the 2.2 motor, but I have the 2.5 motor. Seems there are number of changes for the 99 model, that were different from the 98 model, though both cars look the same. Go figure?????????

Hey Rooster2, I am going replace mine soon. Did you end up using the Dorman brand part # 577-086 and it fit? I also have a 99 OBW 2.5 a nd wanna get the right filler neck/tube. I found this one on RockAuro for pretty cheap! http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=3522396&cc=1357354

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, but I have been on the subaruoutback.org forum for almost a year. This looks like a great place to get some info and help!
