It strikes me curious that the filler nipple on the GMC fuel tanks is at the midpoint between the top and bottom of the tank. Any leaks in the filler tube or connecting hoses would continue until the tank was over half empty. The only reason I can see for putting the nipple in this location would be that there is no practical position that is higher up on the tank. Are there any other reasons for this setup? Has anyone modified their fuel fill system to change this?
I was wondering, why not use oversize body cushions from JimB and raise the body enough to put the filler tube above the frame. The potential for leaks would be minimized and the filler tube would not be full of gas most of the time.
Thanks,
JP
