Gas tank filler neck to body gasket/sealer question
« on: May 23, 2020, 05:42:35 PM »
I was getting ready to install my tank filler neck.
I bought the cork gasket from WCCC.
When I went to clean up the neck I noticed grey sealer around it.
See pic.  My question is did the car have sealer or a gasket... or both?

I believe the tank had been out if this car in the past.

Thanks Jeff!

I’ll just go with the gasket if that’s what was common.
