Fuel Tank Filler Neck Hits Bed Rail

[Peanut74]

Ok, I know I can't be the first one that ran into this issue. So rather than reinventing the wheel thought I would ask here first. I moved my fuel tank to under the bed. I notched the bed rail so that it cleared the tank. Once I put it on I found that the fuel tank filler neck was under the bed rail. My question is when you ran into this situation how did you resolve the issue? Pictures would be great as I am more of a visual type person.
Thanks in advance.

Short bed?

Yes, it is a short bed. The frame was a long bed that I shortened up.

Thought about going to a muffler shop and have them bend something up. However, thought I would on the forum first to see if there is an easier fix.

I cut mine back and rounded it around a pipe, so that the hose moves to the side easily. I also cut cross sill and weld in some react tubing for the hose.

RPM, How did you handle the bed mounting point that is there? Did you delete that one? Do you have any pictures of your setup?

I do have some room where I can cut it about 1/2" wider before I am up against the bed bolt tube. Also, if I go more to a square cut rather than a 45 I might pick up some additional space.

Maybe move the rear cross member back a few inches, then move the tank back enough to clear the bed floor brace.
My truck is a long bed. So ,I am just throwing that out there.

Or turn the tank 180* and have the filler on the passenger side. That will move the filler neck forward of that brace.
