Hey guys. I welded up a very heavy duty steel flatbed on my 94 idi f250 which required a modified filler neck. Problem is, I am not able to get the filler neck to the cap on the side of the bed without having the fill tube at a near flat angle (maybe 5 degrees at best). This makes it a royal PITA to fill the tank, if I hold the lever down all the way, it back fills almost immediately and overflows. I am running on my side tank only as my rear tank was rotted out and my FSV was not functioning.
Does anyone have any ideas on a filler neck design? I was thinking of welding up a small (2ish Gallons) pre-fill tank under the bed to fill with fuel before it flows into the 18gal tank. Then I could run a very short metal pipe with the cap on it vertically. I am just not sure if that would make it any easier to fill the system.
