Tekara 0 Posted October 14, 2004 Hi All While i was unblocking the waste pipe in the rubber seal around the fuel filler, i thought it might be a good idea to clean out the road gunk from behind. As seems to be common while gently pull the gunk away i found the earth cable for the fuel filler. Its rusted off, and now as there is no road gunk to hold it in place im left with a loose wire. Whats the best way to secure this back in place ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigowl 0 Posted October 14, 2004 I just cleaned mine up by cutting the copper earth wire back to a clean bit and soldered it to the metal filler pipe (outside). Very fiddly - I'm not sure if its a good join but I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it Tekara, and I havnt blown up at a filling station yet!

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 14, 2004 What does that cable actually earth? Does it prevent stray static sparks igniting the fuel vapours or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its just safety as your filling up I suppose... How many of us fill up with our mobiles switched on in our pockets...? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
