could that fuel hose from a rear tank be made to work in the front, i think it's longer though could i just shorten it? i'll check the junkyard for a new filler neck and some other related parts as well.

alright i went to sutherlands and found this reinforced vinyl hose that was corrosion resistant so i bought 2 feet of it. It's 3/4" ID so i think it'll work at least 'till i find a complete filler neck off a parts truck or something.

Though my ideas may not be the brightest it is the cheapest and fastest way to get some fuel in your tank. And for anyone who wants a temporary way to fuel up i used a bit of ingenuity and found a decent funnel with a small enough neck and squeezed it inside the hose. then i held it together with a hose clamp so i didn't lose the hose in the filler neck. just stuck it down the incomplete filler tube and poured on the slow setting. I'd recommend 21/2 feet because i don't think the tube went all of the way and into the tank a little. It beats the heck out of filling six ounces at a time. And it beats spending $100 for a completely new filler neck when i can do a little searching for the tube and get that for a lot less. But maybe that's just me because i'm on a small budget 'till i get a good job.
