A fuel system comprises of many small components put together to ensure proper supply of fuel to the engine. One of the important, but often overlooked component in a fuel system is a fuel filler pipe. Fuel filler pipe is a long tube that connects the gas cap and the fuel tank. When the vehicle’s fuel cap is removed to fill the fuel, the nozzle from the gas station is inserted into the fuel filler pipe, providing a passage for the fuel to flow freely to the fuel storage tank, eventually passing through into the engine. The fuel filler pipe can either be soldered to the fuel storage tank or can be connected by a rubber hose with hose clamps. On the other end where the fuel cap is located, the fuel filler pipe may be bolted to the bumper, quarter panel, rear filler panel, or may just stay suspended from the fuel tank solder. Fuel filler pipes are made of metal or rubber that wears out eventually with time. A corroded fuel filler pipe causes emission issues in the vehicle, and the case of fuel leak can be hazardous. There are a few systems that can alert the driver in case of a bad filler pipe. A lingering fuel smell is one of the first signs of a degrading filler pipe. Leakage of fuel is also a serious indicator of a bad filler pipe. Replacement of fuel filler pipes is a commonly ignored maintenance procedure, though an essential one for proper functioning and safety of the vehicle. The most commonly used material for making fuel filler pipes is Aluminum. Aluminum fuel filler tube is manufactured from a die cast Aluminum tube which is then bent and formed to increase their ability to flex and bend without leakage in case of car crash.
