The fuel filler neck is like a funnel that moves fuel into the fuel tank of a Chevrolet K1500. If you're looking to replace the fuel filler neck on a 97 Chevrolet K1500, you'll first need to raise the fuel tank fully and remove the fuel tank shield. You'll then need to disconnect the fuel tank filler neck from the fuel tank and remove the tank straps and insulator strips. Finally, you'll need to install the new fuel tank filler neck and reconnect the fuel feed and vapor hoses.
