1st of all, is there any reason NOT to remove the little hose that is inside the filler neck?
I could see maybe too much backwash, or something. But I have never had problems with filler necks on older vehicles that never had that extra hose inside...
2nd... Has anyone ever removed ALL of that hose? If so, how? The hose is somehow bonded with the metal piece that is inside the filler neck at the top. I don't see any way to twist it and unlock it or anything like that.
I am about to go after it with a dremel tool. With a small cutoff wheel. Just cut the entire rim of the metal piece at the top. (If I ruin it, I have a spare. )
Don't count on pictures. I'll try, but my camera is crappy on closeups anyway. And this is down inside the filler neck, besides. So no idea how I can get a pic down inside, and get light in there as well.
