Fuel Tank Filler Pipe

The fuel tank filler pipe carries dispensed fuel from the fuel nozzle to the fuel tank.

In order to prevent refueling with leaded fuel, the fuel tank filler pipe has a built-in restrictor and deflector.

A fuel tank filler pipe check-valve is attached to the fuel tank filler pipe and extends from the fuel tank inlet to the reservoir. The fuel tank filler pipe check-valve is located inside the fuel tank filler pipe check-valve tube and prevents fuel from splashing back out of the fuel tank filler pipe during re-fueling.

The opening in the restrictor will accept only the smaller unleaded gasoline fuel nozzle which must be fully inserted to bypass the deflector. The filler pipe is attached to the tank by a section of hose and two hose clamps.

NOTE: Drain the fuel tank with a hose which has a 1/2 inch or smaller diameter in order to prevent the drain hose from getting stuck inside the fuel tank filler neck pipe check valve. Damage to the check valve may result.
