Re: Tail light fuel filler
I was using a stainless, push-up marine style filler, labeled "water", and machining the mounting lip off of it. Like this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-316-stai...vip=true&rt=nc

Re: Tail light fuel filler
Hey Wynne,
You have used this setup for several years now, do you have any trouble doing fillups at the pump? What gas tank are you using? I am still leaning towards a similar setup but worry about slow filling.... |

Re: Tail light fuel filler
I have one of Fuelcellguy's tanks, and don't have any trouble with slow filling, but I usually don't hold it wide open. I usually fill it at about 1/2 to 3/4 speed, which is plenty fast enough, and it's only a 16 gallon tank, so it doesn't take long. If I top it off too fast, it will burp fuel out when it gets full, and if I pull into a station that has the big boot around the nozzle, I may have a problem, but so far it hasn't happened. I think the key to fast filling is being able to vent the tank as fast as you want to fill it. I have mine vented with a 3/8" hose at one corner, and another 3/8" hose running from the top of the tank to the filler, just below the gas cap. It works ok, but I think a 1/2" vent line would be better.

Re: Tail light fuel filler
I was able to fab everything up for little cost with a Marine filler neck /cap assy, handsome plate metal from Atwoods. It took me 2 or 3 times making one from scratch to get it right, but once you get started it's not that big of a deal. You just have to cut away quite a bit behind the drivers tail light assembly.

Re: Tail light fuel filler
thanks man. i have no problem making one from scratch. its just with work and the kids, it would be great to just buy one pre-fabbed, ready to tack in there
ive seen one guy run his through the reverse light. after youve done this, do you think that would be easier or harder than the tail light? thanks |

Re: Tail light fuel filler
I understand about you not wanting to have one yourself. I felt the same way, but not being able to buy one, I had no choice. I definitely would not try to do on through the reverse light, there is not enough space!

Re: Tail light fuel filler
What is needed to order a bent piece from you? Be happy to work it out, however you want.

It was fun though, and turned out ok I think. It still needs some fine tuning(rubbing, spring tension, paint, etc), but I'm satisfied so far. Filling the tank will be the real test. Thanks to you guys that helped with ideas and parts.
