Hello:
I bought one of the Brothers rear gas tank kit, the ones which is made of kind of plastic material. My concern is the tank filler inlet. It is only 1" in inner diameter. Is this gona be a problem when filling at gas station?
thanks

No ideas?

The fill tube all has to work together with vents. Going from that opening to the actual fillers size will be the problem most likely. There are a lot of threads here about fillers and how they have been done.
