A filler neck joint.

摘要

A filler neck joint (8) including a seal (10) interposed between a flanged opening (12) in a fuel tank (11) and a filler neck (14). The seal (10) is compressed between the filler neck (14) and the flange (16) by mechanical deformation of the filler neck (14) after it is inserted through the flanged opening (12). Mechanical deformation pulls the seal (10) into the mating flanged opening (12) compressing an annular seal bead (25) formed on the seal (10) thereby providing a resilient secure leak tight filler neck joint (8).
