My first Capri, 1991 N/A
Rocketman:
That's good to know. When I worked at a parts store we did not carry much for the filler neck. Good to know, I imagine the stock line falls apart the second you need to mess with it.

Mine split at the tank connection just enough to make it useless.

This is what I used, 10 inches needed:

Don't bother trying to put your year and model in, it brings up stuff for the Mustang-based Capri.
Also, if you buy the 1-7/8" filler hose from an auto parts store, check to see if it's the flexible kind first. There are some hoses out there that are rigid and won't flex to go over the raised portion of the metal tube on the tank and the metal filler under the fender.

I just read this thread and only 1 of your photos was visible: the one after you reinstalled the valve cover. I removed mine too and removed and cleaned the baffles but my engine isn't (as far as I know) clogged with sludge. I had a ripped timing belt and the PO decided to leave ALL the covers and splash shields off so I had to track them down over the course of a few years to cover the engine. It's still not running and I'd given ZERO thought to replacing any or all fuel hoses... so thanks for adding that to my list of fears lol. I don't know if my coolant hoses are or will crack. I don't know how well my brakes work... I'm hoping to actually drive the car in the next month or so after buying some parts. Thanks for the write up on here, I wish I could see more pics though.

Unfortunately with the age of these cars and because sometimes they didn't always get the care they deserved, it isn't unusual for all the rubber parts to need replacing, brake lines, fuel lines, water hoses, vacuum hoses, heater hoses, sway bar bushings, etc. Also for cars that have been setting, it isn't usual for the poor grounds to give weird engine running problems.
