Whitesik, I think you've hit on something. While there is no grommet in the metal floor, there is a bellows type affair that does offer that functionality. Perhaps originally the factory intended to use a grommet but then switched to the rubber bellows which I don't see in the parts book, but do have installed.

I see that SAV does have that seal in stock: https://swissarmyvehicles.com/pinzgauer ... -fill-neck ,so perhaps it now replaces the bellows?

I have the bellow and no seal, so I guess I am good without the seal. I will just tighten the crap out of the hose clamps.

#6 is a vapor barrier from the cab to the undercarriage. It has no effect on the fuel leak. This was a later option that eliminated the outer accordion boot from earlier models. TD’s use them.

Are the "acordian" type boots still available? I couldn't find them on SAV's site.

Good to know, thanks. I try to put stuff back the way I found it, but if you've been happy with the single vapor seal, that's probably the way I'll go. My tank should be back from refurb next week, so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks again,
