Rook: Wow, that was fast - the new gas filler (apparent Hong Koong copy of the Evotech)arrived today! Look at the photo though, which shows the filler assembly from the BOTTOM (interior of tank) view:
Questions:
1. Is the "kink" in the clear vent hose not a problem? I can't see how gasoline will be able to flow fast enough through that very kinked restriciton before flooding the fuel filler recess in the tank. I also cannot see how I could UNkink it, as it has to make that very tight turn and stay INside the 5 mounting bolts, right?
2. See the wide black gasket under the center section? But notice that there is no gasket under the outer rim. Is there an "outer" gasket on the OEM filler assembly, or does the OEM filler assembly outer ring bolt directly to the metal surface of the fuel tank with no sealing gasket between them? I'm asking because the service manual does not mention any gasket other than the one on the center section, nor does it show any other gasket in the exploded parts diagrams. (But then it does not show the center gasket either :) ).
There IS also an o-ring around the actual removable cap, that seals the cap-to-filler interface all around the periphery of the cap.
