If you notice, the filler has a spring loaded flapper that the gas nozzle goes through, with that and the fuel cell foam piece there is no worries of sloshing out, and no more odorus than the ones from the factory….
I thought the filler neck in your setup looked like it was off to the side. How did you secure it the the bed?

I’m wondering how I will get a fill nozzle in there. The ones in California are pretty big.
