I was able to remember the connections - everything is back together and one more Outback filler tube has been replaced. Thanks.

Anybody have a picture of the filler tube assembly for a '99 Outback? In particular, I'm wondering what connects to each end of the 3 hoses. Thanks!

Hi folks. I'm gonna replace the filler tube on my '99 Outback this weekend. The 3 screws that attach the tube to the quarter panel are rusted tight. I was thinking about cutting them off w/ a dremel tool, but that will cause some sparks. Any chance that would cause fuel vapor to go blammo? Thanks.

Would I need to disconnect the battery after replacing the gas cap? Thanks.

Are you saying that the parts list above is not everything needed? That hasn't been confirmed, but after seeing the state of the filler neck on my car, I want to replace it, even if it isn't the culprit.

Thanks. Below is the reply from Anthony. Can somebody confirm that I need all 4 parts in the links he provides? Anything within 8 inches of the gas cap on my car is a rusted mess and needs to be replaced. ------------------------------------------- We usually will sell the filler pipe, top valve, ring and seal and screws all listed here http://www.subarupartsforyou.com/cp_partlistbymod.php?model=Outback&subcat=Fuel+Pipe&year=1999 also commonly you may need the upper valve which is attached to the old pipe coming out http://www.subarupartsforyou.com/cp_partdetail.php?partid=16370 it is hard to say beyond that without looking or disassembling etc... all is in-stock

Has anybody purchased a replacement filler neck online? If found a web site that lists it for $103, but I'm not sure it's the correct part. Thanks.

What's the best way to locate the cause of the 0440 code? Is there a common checklist people follow?

Hi folks. Couple weeks ago my CEL became lit (0440 code), so after reading these boards, thought I'd take a look at the fuel filler neck by the right rear wheel. Well, living in Wisconsin, you can imagine what I found - lots of gunk, crud and corrosion. I'm hypothesizing that there is a leak in there somewhere. My question is - can I make this repair myself? I've done simple repairs in the past, but I'm not a mechanic. Thanks!

Hi folks. The check engine light on my 2.5l '99 Outback came on a few days ago. The error code is P0440, which is an emissions problem. What are the common causes of this error? Thanks!

Just thought I'd let folks know what the solution was... I got a replacement bulb and pulled the directional assembly from the car. I could see that the old bulb (which does have 2 filaments) was still good - nothing was burned out. As I was inspecting things, I noticed the light would get bright or dim as I moved the bulb around, so the problem is with the wiring or connector.

They work, and at the correct rate. Are there two filaments in the front bulbs? The left side is not as bright as the right side...

Hi folks. The left directional on my '99 Outback is oscillating at about twice the normal rate. I don't see any burned out bulbs. Anybody know what the problem might be? Thanks!

Hi folks. The CEL is on in my 1999 2.5 liter Outback. I got the code read at an auto parts store. It is: P0440 - Evaporative Emission Control System Malfunction Anybody have an idea what might cause this, and how serious it is? Thanks!

It's a manual trans. A couple years ago the clutch was slipping when I was pulling a boat out of a lake; under normal driving conditions it's fine, but I'm having it replaced as long as everything is apart. I've given them the go-ahead to do the work. Hopefully they won't find other damage when they get in there. It was overheating for a brief period of time - I was almost home when it happened. Given the symptoms, it sounds like exhaust gas was being forced into the cooling system at the head gasket.
