My new fuel fill at a 20 degree angle seems to work well, have filled twice with 2 different nozzles and they both clear and seal good.

Hello Brian,

PM sent.

We like your 20 degree angle solution. Had been considering using marine filler necks, but using the original GMC part is much better.

I couldn't quite tell, what size tubing did you use? Is it slipped inside the GMC filler pipe? Did you weld, solder or otherwise secure the 20 degree tube to the GMC filler?

Thanks for the post.

Regards,

Don and Susan Jeffers
