Fuel Tank Filler Neck Pipe

[adrianfa]

A couple of weeks ago, when I was filling up the petrol tank and I usually fill it right up to the top, the petrol started leaking out the other side of the filler pipe somewhere.
I looked up underneath, as well as I could, and it looked like it was coming out from higher up the pipe, around the same height as I was filling it in.

I spoke to my mechanic and he said that the filler pipe must have rusted and to try get a new one. In the meantime, he also said not to fill the car above the 3/4 mark. I have been doing that and a small bit, maybe 200ml, still leaks but the leaking stops when I stop filling up.

The oem part number is 42066FE090 for a 2007 hawkeye wagon.
Long story short is that the part is only orderable from a main dealer, but that doesn't really matter anyway because the part is discontinued (ref: Slatterys in Tipperary).

I'm not sure what to do. Should I try to have a look to make sure that it is the actual pipe that is rusted or the return pipe (which I think is made of rubber), and/or would I try and get a used one from a breaker?
I guess I'm wondering if these are known to rust over time and how do people fix them, given that you can't order a replacement.

Thanks,
Adrian.

It could also possibly be the breather pipe that runs beside the filler pipe,
this is also something I have to change in mine. If I over fill mine it comes out the breather some where along
This is what i'm going to order

Thanks Baz and Mack. I'll look in to what you've said. Hopefully, I'll come up with something. I do find that the non turbo uses different parts than the turbo, even from the same year, and there are fewer non turbo around than turbo and parts not easily got.

EDIT: I looked up import car parts but they don't have 42066FE090 though the closest I see to it is what mack has posted above (42062FE010?).

EDIT (again ): Import car parts have confirmed that the kit above will also fit my wagon. Many thanks again to Baz and mack for their help and suggestion.
