FUEL FILLER CAP
The cap and outside flange are indexed with punch marks
(or a common number} on the outside edge of the upper
mounting flange. The mark corresponds to where the latch
of the filler cap falls when the cap is fully screwed onto
the flange.
Note the odd hole falling just outside the upper flange on the
body and lower flange. A water drain for the filler well is
integrated into the bottom flange of the filler cap. The tube
in the lower mounting flange channels water out of the well ,
through a hole in the trunk.
FLANGE
Put a generous amount of RTV silicone gasket sealer on
the top surface of the flange.
Line up the drain hole on the flange and the body. Hold
the lower mounting flange in place on the underside of the
fender.
INSTALLATION
ebod\fuelfill
Place the gasket and upper flange on top of the fender,
with the flange markings toward the right side (at 3
O'clock as viewed from above). Hold everything together
with the stainless steel screws provided.
Remove excess RTV and clear the drain hole with a wire,
etc. Install the vent and drain hoses to the lower flange as
shown. Run the drain hose through the hole in the bottom
corner of the well at the side of the trunk.
Pass the vent hose through the seal plate and connect to
the aluminum tube that comes through the hole in the
tank’s mounting flange.
