Hyundai i10 Fuel Filler Neck

[D&M 66]

Hi All,

First time having a 12 plate Hyundai i10 in.

Giving it a pre-MOT, I've noticed that the fuel filler neck is super close to the rear wheel, and some of the rubber covering on one of the pipes is a little worn where it's rubber on the wheel. Car was very dirty and crud was pushing the neck out a little.

Is it normal to be that close?

Thanks chaps!

I haven't got one here to look at but IIRC its on the N/S and there is a bit of a recess in the inner wing for it to fit in, so its not terribly close to the tyre and firmly retained. No way should the tyre rub on the filler. If that has happened then suspect damage of some sort or non-standard wheel/tyre..

Thanks for such a speedy reply.

You're right, there is a recess in the NS wheel arch.

All suspension seems fine and wheels and tyres are standard size. 80 year old owner from new, so can't imagine it's been anything other than bog standard!

*Edit*

Just to finish off the thread, I just cleaned out behind the filler neck of all the crud, adjusted it inwards as much as I could using the bottom bolts. It still sits quite close to the wheel, but that is just how it sits as it can't go in any further.
