Hey guys,
I dropped my fuel tank to replace my fuel pump on m 98 GT, and in the process lost pieces of my fuel filler neck grommet into the tank. I tried to clean the tank out myself. I am in NC and have no garage to work in, and was laying on the dirt driveway being eaten to pieces by fire ants. I found a local garage that flushed my tank and put everything back together for $60. WELL WORTH IT!
However, when I got it back, there was a strong gas smell coming from the trunk and the gas cap was not attached to the car. I took each screw (3) out of the filler neck at the filler door to see if one was longer than the rest to accommodate the gas cap retainer. No luck. I can not seem to find where the gas cap tether attaches. I looked at the filler neck for any holes and it looks ok. I even wrapped it with duct tape to help eliminate it as a source of smell.
I know it's my fault since I took it apart, but it is diving me nuts! BTW..I even put rtv where the filler neck meets the metal (coated the old gasket for peace of mind).
