Answer by  Padmapriya (13)

Open the fuelfiller cover and remove the screws using Torxbit screwdriver. Loose clamps and metal fillertubes two hoses attach the fueltank Twist the small vent tube in one direction, pull the hose off the fillertube neck and remove from the fueltank. Replace damage. Install the clamps and tighten. Push two hoses&clamps tighten.

It is typically just better to replace it rather then spend the time and money to fix it. Contact a local junkyard of auto-part store for a new one of the same type.

Well obviously you need to replace it. Since you didn't tell me the year or what kind of filler tube you are talking about I can't tell you if there are any procedures to repair it.

if its the fuel filler tube you need to replace the assembly, its just hose clamps on either end, loosen them and remove the damamged tube, there maybe another tube inside

Answer by  rookie105 (823)

depending on which filler tube your talking about try putting rubber tubing around the area cracked, find tubing just slightly lager then the tube needing repair, and use hose clamps to secure the repair. If not try JB weld, its and apoxy for metal.

replacing the tube would pobably be the best thing to do. some of the tubes are made of a type of plastic and it does not glue well. the part is probably not expensive.

I can't find what type plastic it is made of. Dealer price for tube over $200 ! Online prices ranged from $139 to $189 ! Glue for polyethylene is $20, BUT fuel neck plastic seems HARDER than fuel tank type plastic - NOT same.
