Re: My New Fuel Tank Conversion

I do have a question for the group - when I go to put gas in the tank, it is a tedious process. Some pumps are too strong and it runs a seconds and shuts off, and I have slow feed it and it sometimes drips on the pavement. I heard that if I add a long rubber tube on the vent spigot of the filler neck, then it will help with fuel back pressure. Any thoughts on this and any thoughts what I can do to reduce this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Keller I just noticed something from your pics. I believe if you go back & cut off the cap-portion of the original filler neck, you will have much less blockage when pumping gas.
HTH,
