Team,
Need some thoughts. The Filler neck on my Canadian Made Gas tank is about 1/2" to 3/4" too short. It comes just flush
with the boot deck. Bolted up tight down below. and even without the filler neck gasket not sure it would make it there. So is my option.
1) Find a tank neck off of a latter Spridget, cut this tank neck and use that rubber hose from a later Spridget to connect to the tank. That would probably work but in these days of ethanol not sure how wise that would be.
2) Could try going without a gasket up top. Again absolutely minimal amount of the filler neck is up above the top of the boot.
3
) A LeMans style cap but even those need some amount of filler neck up above the top of the boot. My odds of getting to a show next Sunday just went to slim.
