Take a look. Fuel filler piping.
No amayama
yeah nah - she's not only gone, she's a long way beyond gone!!
that is insane!!! i am so so glad we do not salt roads here!!!
goodnews is that they can be bought new from amayama, $87AUD for the SWB (MR342122) and $113AUD for the LWB (MR462764).
I paid that number in GBP
. Tend to be around £150.
I won't be replacing the cover so that way when I pressure wash the motor the pipe will get a wash too.

The cover does protect from stone, give it a couple of coats of galvanised paint....Try amayama.com, they freight worlwide (mostly anyway, I think !) and they are reliable and the price is sometime very ....sweet....

Already ordered from a UK Mitsy and will be here tomorrow; cost me $130. Is amayama your regular Pinin source of spares?

Petrol on the forecourt floor
Another guy who thought that his fuel tank was 80 litre ! 55 inside, 25 outside :)
From memory I have heard of a few going that way, because of its location it should have be made rust proof from factory
What $87

Previous owner said it was very heavy on petrol......................could be 55:25 here too.
Shall I grease the stub before putting it into the hose in case it rusts there again and sticks to the rubber?
Do it right, use Hammerite
I'll be giving the pipe a good coat of Hammerite car body underseal with added Waxoyl. I find that stuff to be really good on areas exposed to the more harsh conditions. When I removed the plastic shield the muck and bullets jammed up behind it and also at the top of the pipe by the filler neck was unbelievable. One of the problems with UK use is folks do not get the muck of winter cleaned off.
Done and dusted.
Maybe not, some grease have negative effect on hoses. Keep in mind that this piping have been in the car for a very long time, we could think that the new one will outlast the car....

The new one is on. Wahay.
I had to shift a lot of rust residue that had become part of the hose(s) by scraping it off.
I used a smear of grease on the pipe stubs. Reinstall time was under an hour.

Whole pipe, what a mess.
It was through in places, just made it worse with the coarse file.
You can see how much steel has been turned to rust.
Work in progress on my just acquired
delapidated 2003 Vivo 11Junior in need of TLCDo it right, use Hammerite.
Why simpify when it is simpler to complicate.
