I went to the local parts store and bought exhaust reducers. You can then weld it to the neck of the tank. Go with the 1 1/2" size...easier to find fuel filler hose!!! The 1 1/4" is hard to find.

sorry it didn't help. You should be able to find a 1 1/2" to 1 1/4" reducer and weld it to the marine filler. Good luck finding a filler hose though. See if the Marine shop can order you a 1 1/4" hose.

I found some fittings at a plumbing store that was copper. worked pretty well for reducing. If I remember right it was an elbow.
