Re: Fuel Tank Fun

Bigdon - I'm thinking your tank looks pretty bad from the outside and wonder how bad it is inside. May not be worth saving.

I ended up cutting the filler neck off of the tank that the guy put on yesterday and used about a 4" piece of fuel hose that goes directly off of the tank then to the old filler neck that was attached to the tank. That fixed my problem.

So, for me, it would have been cheaper to have just left the new tank like it was when I bought it, hack sawed off the neck from my old tank and used the short piece of rubber fuel hose to connect the two.
