I'm dreading this part because that filler neck is directly in-line with the shackle. I was thinking of using a rubber hose and bending it, but I'm not sure if would cause a kink in the hose or not.

I'm open to any alternatives even if it means paying somebody to fabricate some sort of extension that bends and curves up like the original. Is something like even possible?
