Filler neck grommet install.

[carguy300]

Is there any tips on installing my new gas tank grommet in new tank? Ive heard heating it in hot water to soften up or vasoline. And then installing filler neck. Experiences on best method will be helpful! Thanks again guys.

I just rub some olive oil on it, and slide it in. No comments from the peanut gallery please.

I would spray it with silicone spray. That's my weapon of choice for any rubber item as I know it will both work and not have any bad aftereffects.

The "no comments" just makes me want to comment more. But I don't think I need to.

I always appreciate the comments, tips, info advice. Always helps me! I think I know what the" no comments" meant in regards to installing the filler neck.....

If you know then I think we all know. Slippery when wet also comes to mind along with "When in Doubt Whip it Out".... the latter always worked for me.

Bevel the leading edge of the filler tube then polish the tube as far as you intend to insert it into the grommet. I install the tube before I install the tank when possible.

I recommend the '70 and up grommets. They have 2 sealing surfaces and seem more flexible. I've installed 3 completely trouble free vs others I've used. They should fit C bodies, but check the dimensions first.
