I think it does hit most of the ones I have heard of. I cut most of my cross sill away on the drivers side.

You can heat the filler neck up with a heat gun. Put a socket and exstion around the neck and heat the base of the filler neck when it get's warm enough pull gentally in the direction you want the neck to go.(most likely back)
Allow the neck to cool while you are holding it in place.

I did this to my tank and it worked perfect.

i was hoping to just move it forward a little to clear the cross sill.
i got a poly tank so i think i won`t be able to turn the neck...
thanks guys
