Behind Taillight Gas filler drawings... Will it work?

[Hazieview]

Well guys I finally got finished cutting, bending, adusting, grinding, etc and got the filler hose installed.

Here is where my fuel filler neck will be.


I had to cut a 3" hole beside the existing hole with a whole saw. Basically you just cut the 3" hole as far over as you can without getting into the side support.

I also had to grind some of the bottom of the bed off inorder for the fuel hose to make a straight shot to my fuel cell.




I also had to cut roughly 4 inches off of my filler hose and then bent it where it needed to be. (3" whole saw also shown)



If this idea works I will do a full right up on all the tools and parts needed to complete this task.

Hope it works! Thanks for your support guys!

Looks like it might be quite difficult to unscrew the cap with the limited finger space. Thought about using a "permacap" ?http://www.kleenwheels.com/about_permacap.htm

There really is a little more room than the picture reveals. I do agree that the cap u posted would be easier. Unfortunately it won't work with the filler neck I'm using. Wish I could though.

Probably would be worth the effort and money to get a filler neck that would accept the fixed cap. Then you can position it a little lower to allow better installation of the gas pump nozzle when refueling.

Other wise you'll be kicking yourself at every fill up.

I'll let someone else spend there money. I'm poor now.

I agree though for sure. I dropped the filler as far down as I could using hose I did. Still may be a problem filling up. Oh well I tried.
