1993 Camry Fuel Tank Filler Neck

[Strum]

I went to order one today from 1A Auto.com and they are out of stock. I was hoping to install it next weekend. Does anyone know a web source that carries this item? I googled it and everything keeps coming back 1A Auto.

I was going to call autozone to see if they could get one, since they don't show it on their website I may be stuck with shipping and tax. 1A Auto has free shipping.

I get a discount at my dealer, so I picked it up there a couple months back and installed it the next day. Did you try ebay?

E-bay and I have had a little disagreement on cost, so I've been banned (100% rating, but they prefer to be a-holes).

How much was it from the dealer?

A1 is selling it at $134.

[ASG14]

The regular dealer price should be about $140+tax.

Most dealerships can get the item in next day. My dealer gets parts next day if you order before 4pm. Some delaers you need to order before 12 noon to get it next day.

You can always call up the parts and service depatment at the dealer before you head down just to get a price. The part number for the 92-96 fuel filler neck SHOULD be: 77201-33010 So call and ask them for a price on that part number. Also, it will cost a little more, but get the metal clamps for the rubber hoses that connect the filler neck to the gas tank.

If you decide to get it at the dealer, when you go in, bring your VIN. Easiest way is to bring the registration in with you. Sometimes they want it to order the part.

I don't know how much shipping will be to your door though.

Thanks guys, I placed an order with trademotion.com. They charge shipping, but their unit cost offsets it.

ASG14, do you just disconnect everything and pull out the unit through the filler door? I ordered the hose too assuming all the clamps will come with it, if not, it's a run to Autozone.

I'm in northern Ohio so the underside rust of the brackets are pretty bad. Started soaking that stuff today in preperation of removal next week.

I also have to replace part of the return fuel line. Another adventure that I've never done, but figure it can't be that hard.

Any tips on doing any part of this is appreciated.

One more thing - what is a decent repair manual that won't break the bank?

I replaced it on my dad's Wagon, but should be the same for the sedan and coupe.

1st off, do it with the tank below 1/3 full if you can.

1: Jack up car, remove wheel.
2: Remove the large plastic panel.
3: Open fuel door. Unscrew the door-release nut.
4: Unscrew the 4 screws holding on the plastic fuel neck surround.
5: Take off the gas cap, and remove the plastic surround.

The rest I think you got figured out. Unscrew the 2 screws holding the fuel filler neck to the body, and the rest is just unscrewing the clamps for the 2 rubber hoses.

This is great, maybe post a DIY while ur at it. GEN3, and GEN3.5 are starting to see this problem because of the age of the cars. GL with the install!

^ I'll prolly do a better DIY with pics before too long. I think mine is fonna leak in the near future, ugh.

Remove gas cap. Remove drivers rear wheel, mud flap and plastic inner fender. Inner fender will have plastic push pins that double as attach points for mud flap. From behind, pinch the pins with a pair of pliars and remove. There will be one 10mm bolt to remove for inner fender. Safely support car with jackstands. From underneath, remove the four 10mm bolts that attach the filler neck and vent line to the chassis. If you live in the rust belt and or salt country, soak bolts with PB blaster or other high performing pennetrating oil. Remove hose clamps that attach filler neck and vent line to the rubber hoses originating from fuel tank. These clamps are located above rear suspension cradle and may be difficult to get to. After hose clamps are removed, use a screwdriver or other thin device to break seal between filler tube and rubber hose. If all alse fails, you can cut hose off with a razor blade. I, as a matter of caution, would replace the rubber hoses anyway. The filler neck and vent line assembly are now ready to remove. Gently work nck out if its position and through wheel well.

Got a message from trademotion.com that the neck is on back order, then received a message two days later that it shipped.

So while waiting for the filler neck, I took my daughters car up Autozone to get a read since her engine light is on. On the way home I see a gas station at $2.519 per gallon and fill it up.

I get home and about a half hour later come out of the house to see her car leaking gas - you guessed it, rusted filler neck

^ Loosen the gas cap when parked. It takes all the pressure out of the system and a good chance it will stop the leaking while parked. Thats what I did for my Dad's car till I replaced it. Told him not to drive it as well.

I had the car parked in front of the garage and the slight incline allowed the gas to leak. I moved it and it stopped. I'm going to have to siphon out some gas so she can drive it to and from school (2.5 miles) and to work a couple of days a week.

too many cars in this family.

Doesn't someone make a gas tank repair that should cover that?

JB Weld WaterWeld should do a quick patch job...

Use WATER WELD for:

* gas tanks
* water & fuel cans
* oil pans
* thread locking
* metal & plastic pipes
* ruptured radiators
* swimming pools & spas
* gutters & downspouts
* heating & A/C coils
* auto body repairs

Do you think that would do a temporary job?
