I own a 1983 Civic hatchback and the gas filler pipe has rusted out.
Does anyone know a source for the item? I bought this car new and
have kept it in excellent condition. It is driven everyday and runs
great. Have done all the maintenance (oil, plugs, etc.) myself.
Any help would be appreciated.

Once you fix the filler pipe, you'll want to replace both of the fuel filters.
Note that the car may exhibit other fuel system problems, especially with the
carburetor, depending on how much rust has made its way out of the filler neck
and into the rest of the system.

Thanks Peter, I went to the site and they had everything I need to do
the job including filters. Again, thank you.
