Build help - fuel tank q's

[Yellofury]

Ok my B.A.M. build was moving right along until i ran into the fuel tank snag. I have a cold fusion filler neck and it appears that it will be too tall the clear the hood with the stock tank.
option #1 - anyone have shorter filler neck/cap?

#2 - tank suggestions? I do like to be able to tell fuel level, hate to lose that option.

anyone got any help/suggestions? need all the expert building advice i can get, thought i was going to be ready for testing.....

Thanks

I assume you put the hood on and it hits.. How much room you need?
If it's minimal, For now you might heat the tank area around the filler neck with a heat gun and reform the area down into a small dish so to speak to allow the clearance you need. Looks like you only need to heat the front section to allow the cap to sit flat

had not thought of that - if i unscrew the cap off, the hood fits. I think 1/2" at the front would probably get it to clear. definitely hits on the front of the cap.

Sweet, should be good then....

Thank you Harbor! going to do it one more time and see if i can get a little more room. moved it enough to get the hood on at least!

Since the fuel cap is eccentric to the filler neck bore, try rotating the whole thing 90 degrees and pointing the barbed fittings toward the side of the ski. That might create enough room for you.

fits perfect now.
