Tekara 0 Posted August 22, 2004 Quick question, was unblocking the drain in the rubber seal around the fuel filler. I took the seal out cleaned it up, found a ton of dirt and gunk behind it, cleaned that out. I found a brown cable thats connector has rusted off, it seems to have been connected to the neck of the filler inlet. Whats this cable for ? is it an earth ? should i be concerned that its rusted off ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted August 22, 2004 Yep, just an earth for a filler neck, Mines gone as well... I'd rather fix it tho as it was there for a reason... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craigowl 0 Posted August 22, 2004 Yes, I found that had happened to my 1995 VR6, too, when I cleaned out the mud. I was told it is probably an earth for static so that your tank doesnt blow up when you bring the petrol pump hoze nozzle up to your filler neck. With difficulty, I managed to solder the thing back onto the metal filler neck. Alternatively, you could leave it off and only fill up your car when the humidity is high and static is unlikely to jump from pump nozzle to your car!
