I went to fill my rig up at the gas station today and Look what I found..     How on Earth did that happen? Anybody seen this before? Sorry for the crappy cell photo.. I'm sure this was not there last week... one of the tapping screws is missing too... Does it come separate or will i have to buy the hole tube? Which of the two is the correct part number? Cant make out the digram 52129234AB Tube fuel filler or 55360619AB sleve fuel |

Wow, I can’t say that I’ve seen that before. Something must have jarred the hose/filler assembly causing it to break. I’d go to a dealership and make sure you get all the parts needed for the swap. I don’t know how salvage yards work in Greece, but I’m sure you could get a cheap replacement at a salvage yard. With your economy, you might be able to pick it up pretty cheap.

 The part highlighted in green is where the damage is. I looked at the parts fiche and the service manual but can still not determine the correct part  Is it No 3 52129234AB Tube fuel filler or No 4 55360619AB sleve fuel ?  Can anybody help?  Does anyone know how to remove the fuel door? I only need the plastic part. Does it come alone?  I was thinking that if I remove the fuel door and undo a couple of crews I might be able to remove the plastic with out having to drop the fuel tank. |

You may be able to get it out by disconnecting the filler neck at the tank and trying to pull it out once the fuel door is removed.

Thanks for the reply Sir Sam! I visited my mechanic a couple of days ago and will probably have to drop the hitch and the tank. I'll be sure to try your idea first though. I'm thinking I might not be able to twist and pull at the right angles to get it out your way, but I'll give it a shot as I hate having to pull everything apart.. What REALLY makes me MAD is that I have to replace the whore tube..$$ By the way.. the steering wheel controls I added a few years back, based on your write up, still work just fine! thumbs up!
