Product description
In the early days, fuel was poured directly into the fuel tank, i.e. the filler neck was connected directly to the tank. On the VW Beetle and Karmann Ghia, there wasn't even a filler neck; refueling was done through the trunk. This was also the case on the first series of Volkswagen Buses, where refuelling had to be done under the hood. With the Beetle and the Karmann Ghia, it wasn't until the 1968 model change that this practice came to an end. In the case of the Bus, this solution was abandoned much earlier, not for reasons of luxury, but for safety reasons. Refueling in the same room as the running engine is not very safe, so the 1955 model change put an end to this practice.
To ensure a good seal between the filler neck and the bodywork, the filler neck is surrounded by rubber which, over time, dries out and cracks. In the case of the Beetle and the Karmann Ghia, the smell of petrol enters the passenger compartment through the boot. In virtually every restoration, this rubber has to be replaced.
In the first series of Bay Window Buses, the metal filler neck was directly connected to the body by a gasket until the 1971 model year. from the 1972 model year onwards, this gasket was removed, and from the 1974 model year onwards, the filler neck was made of rubber. This rubber filler neck remained unchanged in the third generation Bus.
