The screen is not removable from the filler neck, but the entire filler neck is removable. Thanks for the tip, I will soak it acetone.Is the screen removable? If so, here is what I did - One of my tanks brass filler screens & cage was all gummed up and would even hold diesel if I pulled it up. With screen & its cage taken out of tank, I tried mineral spirits and that did not do much. I then tried acetone, by sitting cage in a discarded but clean plastic cottage cheese tub and poured enough acetone in to cover the mesh. Came back an hour later and it was all dissolved. However, don't do what I did next...I let it sit some more in the acetone (more is better, or so I thought...) & then went on to do something else & forgot about it for the night. I came back the next morning and all the acetone had evaporated and the dissolved black gunk in the bottom of tub was now hard and brittle like epoxy and stuck to bottom of cage rim and glued to bottom of plastic tub. I had to pry it loose and chip off the epoxified gunk and then retreat with acetone again and then remove while still wet. All cleaned up now!
