On various projects that I have done in the past I have had similar
troubles. The fuel tank has to be relocated and then the filler tubes and
pipes no longer fit. I have purchased approved fuel filler hose at
Marine/Boating supply houses. It comes in a variety of diameters and can be
cut to length. I have been warned against using non-approved fuel filler
hose. Apparently the approved type has some properties that avoid the build
up of static electricity and the associated fire hazard.
Regards,
Jim B.
