Leaking Gas

Post by Daveb »

My 94 1.8 is leaking gas by the tank, only when its near the top.

The culprit isnt the filler neck or tank its the 2 parts bolted on to
the filler neck, one is a metal bag & the other a metal tube that are
all rusted out. I believe these to be part of emmision control system.
Lots of hoses into em...

My problem is that when I go to the dealer we cant seem to find these
parts listed.

anyone know exactly what they are called or part #s, Im pretty sure I wont find
these good used wherever they salt the roads.

Thanks

I'm not sure what you might be talking about with reference to a metal bag. There are a couple of valves.

You might be able to identify the parts using the service manual link.

You can use this link and site to get the Mazda part #.

I had a similar small leak (different car) when fuel tank was full problem that I found to be the fuel pump filler bracket / cap had rusted out. You can check that from inside the car by removing the back seat and an access panel.

Its not on the first link at all

Its not really part of the fuel system, its like a return system.

I believe its part of the evap system. Thier are 2 main parts with lots of rubber hoses
bolted on too the filler neck, if I remember correctly.

1 part is like a metal bag, sort of woven looking...I may try & take a photo, maybe my
mate in Calgary can find it at pick-a-part ?

anyone know what there for MX-3s or a better place, It will have to be from a salt
free environment. plastic cover over the whole mess..
