Hey guys-

Does anyone know if the filler neck on a '94 is welded to the tank, or clamped and slipped in? From what I can see, it's a solid welded connection, but I haven't dropped the tank yet.

I'm fabbing a steel widebody kit and I want to move the filler neck up about three inches- I have a steel piece made to seal off the filler tunnel from the inner body, but I'm not ready to drop all the rear gear yet, as I need it for stance and mock up.

I think I'll be using an S10 filler neck, since they're longer, and mockup is pretty easy, but the neck needs to go before I seal off the tunnel..

In a perfect world, I'll undo the neck from the tank, slip in my new neck and proceed to cut a hole for the fuel pump and drain it when I'm redoing the suspension/drivetrain when the engine is in the shop. I suspect that'll be too easy- The hard way is usually how it has to be done..

 

i would say its welded in there. dosnt make sense that it would not be.

 

I've had a 3rd gen tank out and the neck is part of the tank. I'm sure the 4th is the same way. To lengthen yours, you would need to cut the neck, and you could splice it together with a rubber filler neck hose piece. Certain model cars do use a rubber connector. But you may have to devise a way, with brackets, to hold the neck in place at the end. Your existing neck gets it's stability by being attached to the tank. And be sure you drain the gas and fill the tank with water before you do any cutting and sparking, or you'll go boom!
