Review on Spectra Premium FN1017 Fuel Filler by Pete Gibson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Barely fits and needs some modification

for 2006 Suzuki Aerio not many parts options so sometimes you get what you get and that's something you need to take care of. This parts maker definitely cut some corners (literally). The bottom bend wasn't sharp enough and interfered with the solid frame under the car, causing the mounting bracket to not line up with the mounting hole. I made a standoff bracket and drilled/cut a hole to attach the bottom end of the bracket. The surface of the tube is coated but incredibly rough compared to the neck of the stem so I applied a thin coat of fuel resistant RTV to give the rubber lines a chance to seal around them. In addition, there was a bulge at the end of the tank cap due to the manufacturing process, which prevented the tank cap from sealing. I didn't notice it until after I installed the neck, so I stuck a water-soaked rag in the hole before sanding the lug with the dremel. This prevented sparks from reaching the petrol.
