Hi guys,

So I have my fuel tank/cell and have the 45 degree filler neck that attaches to the top of the fuel cell.

What I am finding is that where ever I mount it, the top of the filler neck attached to the fuel cell is going to be higher than where the fuel doors are.

So this is going to create a slight p-trap in the rubber hose between the fuel filler door and the tank.

Have any of you ran into this? And is it going to be a problem for me when filling up with gas. I'm concerned that the pump may keep cutting off when I'm trying to fill the tank from the pressure that could be caused by this p-trap formed in the filler hose.

Any suggestions or "don't worry it shouldn't be a problem" are welcome

they do have flexible filler tubes that cuts down on the height of the bends

I have a feeling that I will likely have to pop the hatch to fill the fuel tank and run a filler neck inside the hatch.
