Rubber filler hose would have been better than steel, it was just easier to get the bend that I wanted using steel verses seaching the wrecking yards for the right size/bend. As far as I know, no aftermarket company makes it pre bent, but I haven't researched it. If I find some, I may change it, but would still have to piece it together to get it to the tank. The easiest way to open it is to push on the bottom. At first I was planning to use a magnetic cabinet door latch to hold it closed, but I liked the spring better. Right now I don't think it has enough tension holding it closed, and I'm thinking about raising the point where the spring attaches to the light housing to give it more leverage.
