If your fuel filler hose is malfunctioning, you can replace it with a direct-fit replacement. To do this, you'll need to lower the tank a little and slide the jack towards the rear as you lower it to keep the tank balanced. You can then remove the hose connection at the filler neck and cover the port to prevent a fuel leak. You can use ziploc bags and safety wire to do this. You'll then need to get under the car and disconnect the retainer for the fuel supply/return and evap lines.
