No problems filling at all. I like it. I do carry a rag with me. Drop tailgate, cover the end of the nozzle until over the fill hole. Pump 10 gallons or so that will be gone in 60 miles lol. Got to love BBCs. mine is a POL tank. About a foot from the tailgate to the filler neck

I think I ended up cutting an 1 1/2" hole. Even though I needed 1 7/8" I think. I couldn't figure out how to get dead center of the hole. So I cut small then took dremel tool and finished the rest.

Buddy of mine had a good idea. But we didn't do it. Set truck up so it doesn't move. Hang plumb bob from ceiling. Center in the hole you need to cut. Raise it. Put bed on. Drop it. Bingo.
