does anyone know how to remove the pipe from the fillcap to the gas tank. someone tried to ciphen the gas from my 95 taurus and now there is a piece of pipe jammed in that fuel pipe. i was wondering how to remove this pipe so i can remove the pipe inside lol. im guessing its just a matter of taking off the visible bolts but im not sure. im also wondering if i should run it outa gas first so i dont have any spills.

i think youre going to run into a problem with the fact that the filler tube is very likely also bolted into the top of the fuel tank...you may have to remove the tank to gain access to the filler...so long as you have to drop the tank, i would try to do so, then see if you can just pull it straight out without removing it from the body side.

sounds like to me it was actually one of your friends trying to steal your gas to put in his truck to go to white castle after he saw harald and kumar. is that the case? because, if it is, you should have that kid take care of it (assuming you dont care of the shape of your car after he is done)
