Fuel filler leaking

[cnmsales]

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure my fuel filler hose has a hole in it. When I first got the car it was fine now when I put gas in the car about a quarter of it leaks out. Now the guy I bought it from didn't use fuel rated line so I'm pretty sure that's part of the problem. Will it make a difference where the tank came out of? I'm not 100% sure but there is a possibility the tank did not come off a coronet. Can someone provide links to the right product? I really appreciate the help.

For the right tank, you need one out of a 66-67 B-body. Rock Auto sells em the cheapest.

Here is what they look like 7613]

You also might want to replace the hoses that connect the tank to the fill tubes. Many of the aftermarket vendors sell them, and can be found all over Ebay.

Yup, they're repoping those vent and fill hoses now.

Hello cnmsales,

Regarding the fuel tank filler tube and vent tube rubber hoses that Mike spoke about above, below is an Ebay link for an excellent Ebay Mopar reproduction parts seller that I've done business with several times over the years that sell the hose kits that are used on all 1966 and 1967 Coronet models with the exception of the station wagon models and this would include your 1967 Coronet 440 4 door. They are a very high quality product.

One bit of advice that I would mention to you if you do replace these rubber hoses, is to NOT use the factory style hose clamps that they supply in the these hose kits. Instead, purchase a high quality set of stainless steel adjustable screw style hose clamps, as you'll be much happier using a better designed hose clamp for this application.

Regarding the correct Coronet style fuel tank and other related parts that should be changed at the same time for your car, below is an Ebay link to a 1966-1967 fuel tank kit that includes most all of the parts that you would need to install a new correct style fuel tank with the exception of the specialized "J" bolt that is only used on the 1966 and 1967 Coronet and other B-Body models those two model years. This "J" bolt is used to mount the fuel tank mounting strap to the cars frame, so you will need to reuse the "J" bolt that is hopefully still in place on your car, as these "J" bolts are not being reproduced by anyone at this time and the "J" bolts being sold for the 1968 and later models will NOT interchange on the 1966 and 1967 cars! This fuel tank kit also does not include the fuel tank filler tube and vent tube hoses you'll need, so you will still need to purchase one of the hose kits shown above as well.

The seller on this Ebay auction for the fuel tank kit that I've posted below is a very good Mopar retailer and is the same company that I purchased a 3/8" sized fuel tank sending unit from last year for my 440 big block powered 1966 Coronet 500 and I was very happy with their customer service and parts quality.

By the way, the internal fuel tank mounted fuel sending unit is sold in several different sizes. the smaller 5/16" size that was used by Chrysler on most all 1966 and 1967 non high performance models such as your 1967 Coronet 440 4 door, a larger 3/8" size that was installed at the factory on most all high performance models and a larger 1/2" size that wasn't used on any models from the factory, but is used by many folks these days for higher performance street and drag race cars. The fuel tank kit link below is for a correct style fuel tank and a 5/16" sized fuel sending unit which will be a direct replacement for your cars original factory installed fuel tank and sending unit.
