I'd have to raise the drivers side about a foot...possibly more to get it even level. Hey, I didn't know the fuel pump was gotta fail when I backed it up on a hillside!! But if gutting the filler neck and opening it up is gonna cause a problem, how come I've never had this problem with any vehicle that had the plain old fashoined full-sized filler neck? For now I won't grab the chisel. As soon as I can use my right arm (cracked the elbow working on the truck on Sat.) I'll try jacking it level and try again. I'd stuff a rag in it and light it off but....no gas in the tank. And by the way...them little blue pills work! I....wouldn't actually need the chisel. Hmmmm......lemme ponder that.
