Yeah, it is a tweener, as in between the burb and Blazer tank, but not perfect for either. Just cut the angled metal pipe off of your old tank, go to NAPA and buy fuel hose (they actually have hose for fuel that looks like radiator hose). It will take like a 4-5 inch wide piece and two hose clamps to attach the old metal hose to the new shorter outlet and in the end the filler will work perfect. I would give the guy with a radiator hose on his tank flack as well, because the rubber in those hoses is not made to withstand fuel and sooner than later it will all but melt away and cause a leak. Give my advice a try and you'll be out a few $$$ and still be better off than the solder route and still be safe!!
