Rusted fuel filler neck

Hi there,

I have a car with a rusty fuel filler neck. It's the steel tube that goes down into the tank. Hard to tell how bad it is but there is definitely looks quite rusty where dirt has collected from the wheel arch.

Is this likely to be properly check and fail on MOT?


I'd like to make sure it's safe and I'm not going to get fuel leaking out and the car is due an MOT. Obviously I'd rather not have to pay for a new fuel tank (the pipe is part of the tank), but if it's dangerous I'm happy to bite the bullet, perhaps I should ask the garage to have a good look even if it's not an MOT fail.

Thanks for any advice.
