Gas tank filler tube

I put a Gas tank in my truck bed. Need to fill the hole. Cut the filler tube from the old gas tank. With a new rubber for the hole, a hose clamp and the tube, The rubber went on first then slipping the tube in putting the clamp on from the back and tightening it. Well another DIY done

Re: Gas tank filler tube

Seems you have found the Only good use for an old fuel tank!

Might be able to cut it off with a large pipe cutter or a muffler cutter.

Re: Gas tank filler tube

The tube came off my truck when I put a new tank in the bed. No gas was in the tank when I cut the tube I air out the tank about three weeks. Cut it with a saws all. Going to blank off the tube at the top from the inside welded

I used a sawzall and cut it right off. Mine was dry when I did this. If you're worried about fumes, drain it, and fill with water. Cut. Drain again.
