The old marker light fuel fill....

I wonder has anybody who's done this taken any pictures of the fuel neck schlamazle required to put a fill access behind a hinged marker light? I'm using rear interior panels so it can only encroach 3-4 inches inside, and I'd like to not have to fill it with a table spoon to keep gas from gushing back at me do to no incline in the fill tube.

Re: The old marker light fuel fill....

I thank you, but my hope is to use less rubber hose. I have a hinged fuel door and will fab the rest.

The only one similar to what you are looking to do that I've seen is a guy on this board made a pull down tail light with filler behind that. It's on here somewhere.

Re: The old marker light fuel fill....

Why couldnt you just move the stock tube down and shorten it up behind the marker light?
