Was cleaning my air filter tonight and noticed it was almost split in half. For now I have some duct tape on it so hopefully I do not throw a code. Noticing the plastic and ribs on it caused it to split over the years...is there anyone who make a better replacement one than OEM? Also, garage is dark right now, to replace it, how is it connected to the engine and best way to replace it? I assume it has a clamp somewhere down there. Like I said, dark tonight so not messing with it.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You have got to be kidding me....this is how the oil filler tube is mounted to the engine???
Noticing the plastic and ribs on it caused it to split over the years.. just doesn't make sense to me. Show a photo of the split...and then maybe we could come up with some ideas.

It is about an inch below the oil cap. Right now I have duct tape on it for a temp fix.

an inch below the OIL CAP... two words. APOXY RESIN. Or go to all the trouble of removing the Generator which i believe is a PITA and putting a new oil filler tube on. If the split is only an inch from the filler cap, then you could simply fill in the crack with apoxy resin both from inside and outside of the tube. Note to self.... "keep talking to ones self"
It is attached near the back of the alternator

Looks tough to get at from the engine bay. Is is held on by anything else besides the 2 bolts? Pelican has a decent price on the oil filler tube. Right now with duct tape I have not thrown any codes.
Just the two screws and an "O" ring. Read the thread in post #5 to see DIY explanations
