Boris113 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm fed up of pouring diesel down the side of the 90 when filling up from containers and would like to fit some form of extendable fuel filler neck that would operate in a similar way to the older Series versions. Having had a search on Google, there are a few mentions of it but no part numbers or pictures, has anyone done this previously and is it an easy job? Currently I have the standard fuel filler in the conventional Tdi 90 location. I'm happy to butcher the fuel filler neck etc but would rather not start cutting holes in the bodywork. Thanks in advance, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litch Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Standard fit to ex-MOD 90 & 110's and I believe an option on others so certainly an easy conversion. I've got one on my 90 and as you say, very handy if filling from a can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 got one in my 110's filler too, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightpot Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I've got one here for a tenner and postage if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jai_landrover Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I know drain pipe is very close outside dia, so I'm guessing 70mm that's for the older 90's pre defender. Ive often wondered if series extended necks would fit the pre defenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam001 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Could be tempted to fit one myself, how do they fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris113 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Well for once this looks like a nice and simple job, thank you for the info all The current fuel filler is a standard 1989 unit and it looks that the extendable fit simply drops in. I notice that the fuel caps are different part nos however, are they interchangeable? My current cap has a little ring on the inside that looks like it was made for the cap chain and I would rather not have to buy a new one also.

western Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 This how it looks & fits in the fill neck tube. the stub pin in fill neck fits in the extension tube groove, turn the tube to raise/lower into the neck, to fill from a can, remove filler cap, pull up the tube turn until it sits fully extended then fill from can, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
