Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dorman 577-256 fuel tank filler neck, ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the fuel system is depressurized. Remove the old filler neck carefully to avoid damage to surrounding components. Verify that the 1.625-inch inside diameter matches the fuel hose connections on your Mitsubishi Galant.
