In 2015 I removed a fuel filler neck protector to wash the body of my Suzuki Jimny Sierra. Unfortunately, it turned out that the filler neck was rusted. I didn't put the protector back on after the wash, so I checked the filler neck regularly.
In 2019 it looks rusted, but without holes:
I recently replaced the fuel filler neck. The part number is 89201-81A01 (or 89201-81A02), I installed a used one in good condition (from JB23W, 2002).
All parts came off quite easily, I cleaned bolts and hose clamps in EDTA-Na2 solution before installing.
Maybe I will also clean the neck in EDTA-Na2. Just to prove the concept.
EDTA-Na2 is interesting stuff. Is this similar to the "Evaporust" stuff?
ReplyDeleteI have seen some rumors that Evaporust contains EDTA (Na2 or Na4). I don't know if this is true. I think EDTA-Na2 is a cheap (and easier for me to buy) and slow working alternative.
