Birnie Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I was filling up yesteday and when i removed the nozel, the metal inlet came up a bit with it...hmmmmm, gave it a small pull with my fingers and the whole thing just popped out! There was a black glue like substane that held it in place, didn't look like much there and had deteriated a bit. So my question, what do i use to glue it back in? It must be something along the lines of Selly's no more gaps but obviously needs to be petrol resistant. Any ideas? Thanks...

superspit Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 yep..'gold'.... the no more nails used on my car came apart 6 months ago! what a joke!! Anyways, the stuff above looks shit hot and shiny bright, use that...or... Do what I've done, remove the remnents of gluey muck and that's it. Nice big hole now!!! Oh yeah!!...I had to change my fuel filter as it got clogged from the goop they used to attach the adaptor and car wouldn't go!! All ace now, but!!

The Dan Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 You can use sykaflex or anything similar. They put them in with compliance I'm pretty sure as the Japanese filler might be different. Mine has come loose too but I just left it. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/72328-found-my-fuelpetrol-leak/#findComment-1331722 Share on other sites More sharing options...

superspit Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 But don't you get fuel coming out when you fill it right up? Never fill a cars tank "all the way up". (ie.to the nozzle). It's plain dangerous. If I had my easel and crayons I could explain betterer.

Birnie Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 Well i ended up using the Loctite stuff but not the one pictured above....it was a stip of blue/white stuff that you had to knead together..(remineded me of that redlight/green light chewing gum on Mission Impossible..haha) Cost me 9.99 It is super rock solid and for the first time ever, i got the psshhhh vacuum sound when opening the cap for my next fill. Must have worked! As for not filling it right up...and crayons n easles....get working on Windows Paintbrush...i wanna know damn it !

sparkmanv11 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Thought I was the only one in the world that has this problem. Only occurs on track days at Mallala S.A. Thought it was the cap so got a new genuine cap at Nissan. Next track day leaked like a !@#$%. Car is a series II R33 GTR. In desperation did a search of forum " should have done it months ago" and found this thread. I checked the nozzle insert tonite and could not find the movement you all speak about. There is a rubber boot liner that goes around the filler out to the edge of the cover opening. Does it leak from behind this cover where it joins the filler. If so how does this boot come off for repair. No matter what level the tank is at I never get a ssssssh on opening HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Cant keep on affording to pump fuel out almost didnt make it back to Adelaide last track day.

wrxhoon Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Its the restrictor they put in for compliance , sometimes they fix it with sikaflex , the fuel melts it na then it leaks , common problem with most imports . You have to take the restrictor out and fix it with a fuel resistent substance .

Cant keep on affording to pump fuel out almost didnt make it back to Adelaide last track day. Same as me dude Noticed it at Wakefiled park track day doing the hairpin left turn Only becuase someone saw fuel pouring out when driving behind. Did the same as, bought the fuel cap...no difference Anyway, after mine nearly fell out ( a year later of 3/4 tank fills....grrrrrr) i finally did something about it. There was bugger all gooo stuff holding it in. I guess when you're a compliancer, you just wack it in and move on to the next car. So even if yours in in real tight, might have enought goo to hold it tighht but not the full circumfance of the pipe so no complete seal. Mine now has HEAPS ! I fully layered inside the pipe with that stuff, and layered the outside of the restrictor insert......pushed it in REALLY tight ! ..and as i siad, no have the psssshhhh sound when opening. The stuff also says it's fuel/oil proof so hoepfully that's the end of it. Good luck !

sparkmanv11 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Thanks, for the replies, I will try to get to Abahn to find the miracle loctite blue/white stuff that will stop the 98 octane rooster tail behind my car and get my psssshhhh back. However if I cant get it before the track day this weekend can the compliancing fuel filler restrictor be taken out and the standard fuel cap screwed in temporarily. I cant let the EVO club thats running the track day not have competition.

boj01 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Other alternative is to remove the filler neck, remove all fuel vapour and film from the filler neck. Then weld the fuel restrictor to the filler neck. Thats the proper way to do it.
