Getting ready to install the fuel tank. The auto body already installed the filler neck and gas cap. Is it possible to install the tank with the filler installed first? Or is it a lost cause?
I am almost certain the filler neck must be installed after. Be sure to use a new filler neck gasket and lubricate it lightly with a light spray on lubricant that will evaporate and not leave residue.
I grab a friend and have him hold the tube while I'm down there pushing the tank up into it's place. That way there's no bending of anything and you can work the tube in there at a straight angle. I'll rub a little pit of vaseline around the grommet so the tube slides in easy.
