Does it happen to have a combined EPA mpg of 18 or less? If so, sounds like an ideal cash for clunkers vehicle.

If not, how about duct tape?

EDIT: I find in my email archives that I used http://www.1aauto.com/ successfully for a Chrysler tail light assembly a couple years ago.

EDIT 2: And they do indeed carry fuel filler necks, e.g. http://www.1aauto.com/1A/GasTanks/Chrysler/TownCountry just to pick an example model.

Nope, EPA mpg more like 30, I usually get around 32-33 mpg. I wish it was suitable for the clunker deal. As for duct tape, well, just not enough stub left to tape to.

I came up empty my first seach through 1aauto.com for my model, will recheck them.

Are you sure a 96 or a 97 wouldn't fit? Unless the model was fully redesigned in 98, there's a fair chance that it would.

It might fit, but they did change the gas cap and other parts of the fuel system between the '97 and '98 model years. So there might be other changes needed to make it work. At least since it was a Plymouth, I will never have to deal with yet another change in the fuel filler design Chrysler did around 2004/5.

I did find one after market maker of new fuel filler necks for Chrysler. But they have not yet got to the year and model of my car. I did send an inquiry in case it was "coming real soon", waiting to hear back from them.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.
