isn't there a rubber boot around that peice? i believe there is ... my was loose so i just put it back in and now it's not loose... if it's not there i don't know what to tell ya ~

btw i have a s14


it's kinda straight forward the boot part... there are rivets and one goes around the out edge on the inlet of the fuel tank and the other rivet on the fender itself... that's all i remember

My bros 97 has the same problem.. So when you are filling up with gas you have to stand there and hold the nozzle:fruit: .. If you try to put the nozzle on auto fill it just clicks off:cry: .. Its very annoying..
