the frame. This flange should be sealed for the entire
length with body sealer. This can b e don e satisfactorily
with an undercoating gun working through the rear com-
partment at the wheel-housing and flow the undercoating
sealer to the front pillar.
FIGURE 132
Circles (C) and (E), Figures 131, 133 and 134, cover the
gas tank filler neck and gas tank filler door opening. The
arrows indicate points which should be sealed with body
sealer. These points are around the gasoline tank filler neck
and rubber grommet seal and also between the rubber seal
and under panel. Sealer should also be applied to the gas
filler neck drain hose at the underbody panel at point indi-
cated by an arrow.
FIGURE 133
Circle (D), Figures 131 and 134, show the hole on the body
centerline and one at each side at rear panel. These holes are
covered with chip board c e m en t e d in place and then
covered with body sealer.
NOTE: On all cars equipped with license lamp in the
center bumper guards, the hole on the body centerline is
covered with a metal plate having a tab on each end.
These tabs retain the plate in position on the under panel.
T his plate must also be sealed with body sealer.
FIGURE 134
Circle (E), Figures 131 and 133, shows the filler com-
partment. All the weld joints in the filler compartment
should be sealed. Particular attention should be paid to the
end of the front and rear vertical joints where the compart-
ment joins the fender. It is also necessary to seal completely
around the joint of the filler floor panel and the rear fender.
If filler neck grommet does not fit tightly around the filler
neck, it should also be sealed with body sealer.
Sealer should be used to seal the gasoline gauge wire
and grommet shown at (G), Figures 131 and 133.
Body sealer should be applied around wheelhouse panel
and around the inner edge of the rear panel and at joint of
underbody and frame as shown in heavy black lines.
