After checking out service engine codes P0456 and P0457 (evaporative emission control system leak detected) i found the fuel filler neck tube and all vent lines totally corroded through. The vehicle is a 2002 mitsubishi eclipse and this assembly is located in the rear right side wheel well. Driving area is the northeast and found sand and debris packed all around assembly where tubes make a 90 degree turn through a support/protective bracket. I repaired with a new fuel neck assembly (part no. Mr73836) purchased from a local dealership at a cost of $200 for parts only. No fuel had yet leaked out but would have in a short time if this part was not replaced. Dealer stated that this vehicle was not recalled for this problem but other mitsubishi models around this same year had been recalled for this same condition. *tr
