Diesel filler necks

When I converted my crew cab to fleetside I found that the way I have to configure the filler hose it just foams and trips the pump. Every time I fill it I have to get under it and stick the nozzle in the tank itself but even that has to be done really slowly cause the nozzle doesn't fit all the way in.

here is what I have now, just using old hoses and necks to see if it would even work. I'm happy to buy new filler necks or hoses or whatever I just want to be able to stick the nozzle in and walk away.



If anyone see's a solution that allows me to use the filler necks, great, otherwise I'm going to install them in the bed rails and plumb them through the floor and eventually actually recess them into the rails just behind the front stake pocket. Right now I don't have the time to do all that fab though so it has to be something a little quicker.

Anyone know where I can get a diesel filler neck that just has a nice looking chrome cap like the old trucks had but with a flange that would let me install it on the bed rail AND a straight up and down filler tube? If it will accept the nozzle for the large diesel pumps so much the better but right now I'd be happy if it just accepted fuel easily.

Edited to add: The truck I took the bed off of had the saddle tanks placed father forward than the ones on my cab and chassis by about a foot. My problem it would seem is that two bends are too many in that short of a space.

Re: Diesel filler necks

The early filler necks before unleaded fuel started have the large diameter that works for diesel.
