Fuel Filler Neck Support Bracket - 8/80+ (possibly 79+) Questions (1 Viewer)

[BreckenridgeCruiser]

I am working through a few things on my list while I have the transmission out of my 1981 BJ44. My fuel filler neck and hose were slightly out of alignment and I had a slow leak from the hose to tank attachment.

After looking at the connections I realized my filler neck has a support bracket that aligns with a threaded hole in the body. It doesn't line up nicely so I took a closer look today and realized there is another threaded hole. Am I missing a bracket that bolts to the body and then the filler neck bolts to the bracket? I didn't see one in the EPC for my truck.

If anyone could take a picture of the area that hasn't had their tank removed or has a system that is original it would help immensely. I would also like to confirm the orientation/clocking of the hose from neck to tank to make sure I am aligned properly to seat the hose and prevent leaks.

Thanks!

Bump. Anyone have a 79 and later that can take a pic of the filler neck for me?

Hole on the left is the one you use. Hole on the right is for the splash guard.

Awesome! Thanks! Any chance you have a picture of a properly clocked hose?

Thanks Matt! @ToyotaMatt

Did you keep the OEM hose after the repair, or find a suitable replacement?

I found a replacement. I am going to have to cut it down with regard to length but the angle and diameter are good. I can get the part number and some pics later. I have not installed it yet.

here’s some pics. I know it looks huge compared to the stock one but it’s 2” ID and the filler neck and tank are 2”. The angle is pretty close. I have the stock one if I have to use it but the rubber is pretty hard after 40 yrs of service.

Awesome! Thanks so much! I need to drop my tank and when I do I want to make sure the filler system is as good as can be! I assume that hose can handle diesel?

That's awesome... I have a second one I scavenged off of a 1983 BJ42 but it has shrunk and is deformed like your own one. Ordering one tomorrow!

I ordered the gates 24712 posted by @MOTOV8R but liked your use of the stainless T clamps too seal the hose. According to the interwebs, the gates is rated for all fuels including all legal biodiesel. Should be fine for regular diesel.
