Default Which one of these fuel filler necks?

Which of these should I buy?
Each is the same part, same dimensions.
Only variation is manufacturer and price (but not by much).
Never heard of any of them.

Spectra Premium is decent stuff. I've never heard of the other two. I'd probably buy the cheapest, since it seems like it would be pretty difficult to screw up something so simple.

I'm with tom. Go with the cheapest, not much could be done differently with those. If anything it might rot out 6 months earlier over the next 20 years lol

Very well. Just wanted to make sure none of them were known to be junk 👍

Ordered the cheapest one.
I don't suppose it's possible to install without dropping the tank??

You can install it without dropping the tank. There's two long rubber hoses that go from it to the tank, so I can just pop them off no problem. I believe there is a ground wire that attaches to them too(to keep static electricity from building up) I forget how it attaches at the body, but I want to say it's just one bolt or rivet.

The tank does not have to come all the way down. Remove the driver's side strap and loosen the passenger side strap and there's enough tilt to wrestle the rubber connector onto the stem.
