Flatfoot, your filler neck needs to be removed with the use of a special spanner wrench, used on the large nut at the tank. Look closely, you should see it. As I understand, a plumbers spanner should work. There is a lead washer under the nut sealing the neck to the tank. Alan

flatfoot- This is the tool (or something like it) to remove the neck. However, even with the correct tool removing the fuel neck on a '35-'36 can be a REAL challenge. Use the best rust-buster you can find (a 50-50 blend of acetone-ATF works great) and let things soak for a few days. It is not unheard of that in some cases guys have resulted to cutting the neck to remove the tank and then used a fuel tank hose to reconnect things back together. Good luck. Tom
