Re: 72 K20 Cab Body & Paint Complete!

Still have not completed the fuel fill Ryan. The rate of fill is slow since I have to use a funnel with a long hose. I put blanket/plastic over the passenger bed side so fuel does not splash on paint and then insert the funnel with hose.
It is a pain to do it this way but of course this is only temporary.

I am planning on going to the Carlisle, PA car parts flea market in a couple weeks and picking up another fuel fill tube(s). The one I was going to use would have to be modified quite a bit.

Here's a pic of the fuel fill area. Notice there is a hose going into the fuel fill in the lower left corner of the inner wheel well. That is the vent tube from the tank. It is currently longer than needed and the extra is shoved down the fill line after I fill it. It helps block the fill. Also, I am not filling the tank to the top.
