Temporary filler neck fix (1 Viewer)

[HarryHarrison]

Hey all,
So I'm leaking gas pretty bad through the filler neck. Anyone ever put a gas hose down the neck for a temporary fix? I have a good filler neck on another landcruiser but would rather wait till spring to tackle it

A few people have cut out the bad section of filler pipe then installed a fuel rated hose to fill the gap with two clamps on either end of the hose. Haven't done this myself but others have said one potential issue is that the stock (single) filler pipe (without aux tank) is not supported at the top so some sort of support might be required (if the filler pipe is cut).

Reading through some of the threads below might help:

80 Series gas leak from filler neck

I just noticed about 2 cups of gas leaking from under the gas cap after filing my 97 TLC up. Drove home after filling up at the gas station and noticed this when parked in the driveway. There was also a hissing noise coming the filler neck. New vapor cannister? Any advice is appreciated:)

Factory Auxiliary Sub Tank Install

Is that a non-OE cross member between your frame rails? Not 100% sure what you are referring to:confused: At the rear my factory cross member was removed when the 4X4 Labs bumper install

'97 gas tank filler pipe leak

I thought I had my problem solved but this morning (after about a year of "dry") I noticed a small area of my asphalt driveway showing the sign of a fuel leak. Same area appears to be involved as last time when I traced it to a rusty fuel tank filler pipe....just where the pipe bends over the DS...

Try this.

I toss the Hose and Replace with the Reinforced Hose that will not Collapse.
Super Handy for Fuel Transfer.
The higher you lift the Filling gas Jug the faster it will flow.
I have filled my Cruiser many times this way.
Have a Drawer setup so put Jerry Can (or Scepter) on Drawer and Slide open Window and start Siphon.
Works Slick.
Stored in a Piece of 1.5" PVC with Cap that is Zip Tied to Roof Rack. If a POS Steals it, will buy another for $20.
