Spectra Premium FN664 Fuel Filler Review

Fits my 1999 Subaru Forester. Was in good shape. Complete with hoses and valve. Had to cut the hose mount off for my use case. Cutting the bracket made it easier to connect the hoses and then install the stuffing tube.

You must remove the wheel and personally inspect and photograph or carefully note the configuration of the part being replaced. Too many replacement parts are listed online as direct replacements IF THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE. This neck fits my base 2001 Subaru Forester. But the first neck I ordered online, from Dorman, didn't fit. Then I had to suffer with returning and ordering. Heed my advice, be particularly careful in advance, save time and nerves.
