new idea for fuel filler

[crushermechanic]

i finally figured how to mount my filler neck. it took some creative figuring but it fills great. i used 1 1/2 exhaust pipe. i had a 90 and about a 30 degree bend in a stick of pipe. i ran the pipe across the bed floor and up between the bed side. i had to squeeze the pipe to fit. i cut the neck off the orignal tank and welded it to the new pipe. sorry the pics arent great but they are from my phone.

What are your plans for the reverse light?

i am still working on that lol. i have tried several hinges and noe of them will work. i am going to have to fab one up. i am going to try to get a filler door hinge this week and see if that will work.

might look at a self closing cabinet hinge too. BTW that looks great! Cnut

I'd look into rigging up some LED's behind your clear lense, maybe modify a trailer LED light from Tractor Supply....

thanks for the input. i have already tried the cabinet hinge. there isnt enough room for it to close

Here's how I spent my last Saturday. I cut the filler off the old tank. Bought the LED taillight and will hinge the bottom of the holder like a few others have done here. The angle of the neck is about right - will probably get a different gas cap. Now, I just need 3' of very expensive fuel hose. Was either going to reduce the 2" filler neck and run the 1.5" hose to the tank OR run 2" hose back to the tank and reduce the neck there. Not sure if makes any difference except that I'm sure 1.5" fuel hose is cheaper than 2" hose! I looked at several different filler options here. I liked this one the best because I'm a slob when it comes to pumping gas - I just know that I'd dribble it down the paint. This way, only my shoes get spilled on - paint is safe!
