Re: My side marker light fuel filler idea

I have been thinking of doing a sidemarker fill since I don't want to cut into the bed of my truck either and it is lined as well. My initial thought was to just cut out a hold on the side of the rear panel but if I can make the sidemarker fill work then it would be a lot cleaner.
You could probably use a 2" adapter on the tank neck to help with the flow.

wanted to know if you turned down the filler flange...

this one has a 3" flange, but the picture on page one suggests that the flange is just over 2".

did you modify the filler cap/flange in any way?

thanks!
I had the flange machined down.
