Fuel filler reducer - Size?

Lots of searching on SVA reducers but I couldnt find the required diameter the hole needs to be

I think its 22mm is this correct?

IIRC its about 23.6mm diameter.

One of these should do it, if you have an aero style cap

It's in the manual, section 15.2 - 23.6mm.

Thanks fellas. I was going to try and make one (or specifically get Worx to make one)

I begrudge paying £15 for something that will fall off

It can of course be smaller than 23.6, as long as you can still get an unleaded nozzle in!

Edit: It's should be a bit less - 23.6 mm is the size of the leaded nozzle so the reducer must be small enough that it cannot be inserted.

A sierra rear driveshaft washer stuck in there is perfect, and they fall out afterwards quite easily
