I noticed today that petrol was pi$$ing out from under my 2000sti v6

Upon closer inspection i found that the fuel filler pipe has rotted through on the u bend at the bottom!

Has anyone else had this problem and do you know where i can get a new one.

Also is it quite easy to replace or fix ie without taking the tank out.

Cheers

Going by the amount of mud behind the plastic guard you would think it had been used to plough a field

Where did you get your pipe from Subaru dealer?

Ive had the same on my classic, got replacement from grade a, it was from a fresh import so was rot free. treated it to a couple of coats of paint too before fitting.

I had mine go about a year ago, apparently they all do that sir. Well, Subaru4You told me that some seem to rot terribly and some are fine? Poor QC at the factory maye?

Trouble is, Subaru are having a proper laugh with the price of a new one. Best thing to do is source a rot free one from a breaker like Grade A, or find someone on here breaking a car.

Good luck with the hunt.

Thanks lads i will see what i can source,oh one of the guys on the us forums said he cut and fixed his with a piece flexible pipe similar to an intercooler pipe.
What do you think of that,dodgy or ok?
