I have another problem - the fuel fill intake on the tank has a 1 1/4" O.D. but the filler neck on my Burb has a 1 1/2" OD. I'm having trouble finding a reducer or a fitting that fits. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks,

I used a 2" long piece of 1 1/4" tubing inside the 1 1/2" tube. It worked like a reducer bushing.
