you'll need to remove the filler neck to get at the bolt under the tab on it. then when you put it back toghether, you'll need to leave it of so as to refit said bolt.  :-/ if the filler neck is position right, then it should tighten as you turn it clockwise. the tab clips over the bolt head and stops it from turning.

Aha, so it can't be pre-assembled (tight and leak-free) on the bench then! Is there an O-Ring under it? Or does it go back together with a smear of RTV?

There is a rubber seal O ring which sits at the top of the threaded part of the neck which are pence form Vauxhall if you want to change it.

unless something horrendous has happened to it, with a new o ring,(just in case old one has perished), it should be a nice tight fit. take care to make sure that both tabs are seated correctly before you turn the filler pipe.

i knew an aircraft engineer who used to use rtv for everything. bloke got through so much, it became his nickname
