Re: S10 swap fukle tank filler

What about running it out and putting what resembles a stock 47/48 pickup or 47/55.1 Burb filler neck on it? Most guys would never catch that was on the left side rather than the right side.

Even a stock 48 tank is a pain in the keester to fill with a fast running pump. That said you need the filler opening up a bit higher to get it to fill without a hassle and you need to be able to get the displaced air out just as fast an smoothly as the gas wants to go in.

I'm putting my tank under the back on my 48 but plan to run the filler out between the fender and the post and have it run up a few inches if I don't break down and put it in the fender.

classic parts and probably most of the rest sells a filler neck for 47/48 https://www.classicparts.com/1947-48...tinfo/23-222A/
