Fuel Filler (December 31, 2012)


I fabbed up a new fuel filler tube from 2" stainless tubing. The car came with a cool aftermarket fuel filler and I wanted to re-use it. The previous owner had tried to modify an original style filler tube but it didn't fit well and it took forever to get any gas in the tank as the fuel would splash back in the tube and constantly cut off the pump, very annoying. The bend at the tank is a 90 and the bend at the top is slightly less than a 90.





I added this bracket to attach to the frame rail.




This is the completed filler tube.





There is 3/4" clearance from the tailpipe. I have a short piece of DEI thermal wrap for this area for insurance.
