I cut about an inch off the neck.....got some pre-formed 45º fuel filler hosed and a coupler....I made it come out in the correct place to connect to the filler tube on the body....
2 of these https://www.fillernecksupply.com/1-3...ler-neck-hose/ and a stainless coupling...
you have to route them around in front of the body mount to be in the correct location

here's where it need to come out across the frame.
