I haven't hooked my filler neck up yet because I plan to pull the tank one last time and FatMat the inside of the cab for sound deadening. I did do a little research, and you're correct when you say that finding the right hose is not as easy as it seems. The first hose they brought out was about as flimsy as radiator hose and it was expensive. I wound up hitting the wrecking yards and grabbing a few original hoses. They aren't in great shape, though, and eventually I'm going to have to find the right stuff. The original ones are a thick rubber with woven fiber. It's probably the same as what the fuel trucks have on their servicing hoses, minus the outer jacket.

Another thing I have noticed when I was grabbing the original hoses was the different fuel necks. Some were plastic and some were metal. I've got one of each, but for a durability standpoint, I'm going to use the metal. I don't know why the factory would use a plastic filler neck because wouldn't static electricity be a concern?
