Re: 1962 filler tube O ring (was RE: Gas Tank Help Fixed)

[Skagdrager@xxxxxxx]

I haven't contributed anything in a while so here ya go. My tank is out of  
my 62 Dart so I pulled the filler neck out and removed the o-ring. 
 
GAS TANK FILLER NECK O-RING / SEAL    
2.000" i.d., 2.375"o.d., 3/16" crossection (nominal) (actual -  .210")        
                           
 
OUTER DIA. OF FILLER NECK IS 2.000"
 
To install:
Clean outer surface of filler neck and the groove in the mouth of the gas  
tank.
Insert o-ring into groove in the mouth of the gas tank, rub a scant  drop of 
3-in-One oil on the inside edge of the o-ring. Push the filler neck down  into 
the mouth of the gas tank, making sure the filler neck is sliding through  
the middle of the o-ring, not catching on it and pushing the o-ring further  
inside the tank (this is nearly imposible to do anyway). Then push or pull the  
filler neck to the best length to install well in the car.
 
Cheers.

The 1962 and 1963 cars use an 'O' ring that goes on the inside of  the 
filler neck opening of the fuel tank. 

The original part number  for the 'O' ring was 1730087 -- long since an 
obsolete number.

If  we can find the specs for that 'O' ring I can post it for a reference 
for  people to use to find in a hardware store a proper size 'O' ring 
that  works in this application.
