Slight predicament...the vent outlet on the tank is bigger than the other one, and the hose that fits it will not fit the vent outlet on the filler neck (hose too big).

I'm pinching pennies, is there a way I could just notch the rubber and clamp it extremely tight? It's just a vent, not the actual filler hose.

If not, does the auto store have a big enough adapter for this? Yeah, lazy question, but pinching pennies. If it wasn't a financial matter, I wouldn't be asking. Plus, I'm tired of trips to the store...
