Beetle Fuel Filler Neck Seal - 1972-79 (Also Karmann Ghia)

This replacement rubber seal for the fuel filler neck is an essential part for ensuring a tight, leak-free connection where the filler neck meets the body of your vehicle. Designed for use on late-model VW Beetles and Karmann Ghias from 1971 onwards, this good quality rubber seal helps prevent fuel fumes and moisture from entering the engine compartment or cabin area, preserving both safety and comfort.

The seal fits snugly around the fuel filler neck and compresses against the bodywork opening to maintain a weather-resistant barrier. Over time, the original rubber can become cracked, brittle, or loose, leading to fuel smell in the cabin or potential fuel ingress during refueling. Replacing it with this new seal restores proper sealing function and maintains the integrity of the fuel system.

Sold individually, this fuel filler neck seal is easy to install and is compatible with factory and OE-style fuel filler necks. It`s also used across a wide range of VW models beyond the Beetle and Karmann Ghia, including the VW Type 3, Trekker (Thing) and Buggy/Baja builds —making it a highly versatile component.

To install, simply remove the old seal, clean the area around the filler neck and body opening, and press the new seal firmly into place. No special tools are required.
