I did have to bend the filler pipe just alittle. The frame gets wider towards the front so the further you push the tank forward the better. Looking at it now I don't think I would have had to bend it. It did start to crack alittle when I bent it. I'm going to put some JP weld on it and it should be fine. It's just a small hairline crack at the top of the filler tube where it enters the tank. I've seen some tanks where the filler comes out at a better angle and alittle bit lower.
