Some fillers I built for my flat bed to combat the slow fill problem. Now I fill at full speed on standard nozzles. I still cant use the fast fill truck nozzles but you live with that.


The blocks you see under the frame rails are some kind of hard plastic similar to the ones used on the body lift.

The filler necks are original for the first three inches then where you can see the weld it is 50mm id 316 stainless tube. I can get that from work. Then I reduced back down to 40mm and used the original flexible hose to connect to the tank. The breather is 25mm and goes into the tank where the little breather does originaly. No mod needed here just pop out the breather float and use the original grommet with a 1 inch barbed hose tail. It allows the air to get to the top of the filler without foaming the fuel and makes for much quicker fillups. I then fitted a piece of i/4 inch tube to the new breather and reconnected the original breather to make sure the tanks could get air.
