While I was working on dropping the fuel tank due to a fuel leaking problem on my '04 Envoy XUV I attempted to take off the rubber hose that connects the filler neck with the filler pipe and the plastic neck (sticking out of the tank) BROKE OFF IN MY HAND!
I thought I was totally hosed. I went looking for replacement tanks but New OEM ones were way too expensive and the listings I got from scrap yards in my area all had one way or another of basically saying "the neck broke off this one too.":suicide::suicide:
After doing some research and Youtubing I came across the greatest replacement piece ever made (in my opinion). It's a replacement neck made specifically for this problem. It fits, or they can make it fit, an enormous number of vehicles.
The only thing I would complain about is that the pull wire they send is worthless, but just a little manipulation with a simple clothes hanger works.
It was quick and simple to install. Here it is on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2004-Chevrolet-Trailblazer-LS-LT-LX-LXT-fuel-tank-filler-neck-repair-kit-/121782178621?hash=item1c5ac8933d:gQAAOSwvt1WRXsY&vxp=mtr
And here's the YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmRt1xOTdIY
I hope this helps anyone in the same situation I did.
