Aftermarket Fuel Tank

Question. I replaced my fuel tank on an 85 IROC with a Ricks Tanks.

It did not come with a filler neck attached to the tank. As most are aware of the stock tank has a ridged filler neck built into the tank so no upper support is needed.

Does anyone know of an aftermarket filler neck that can be attached to the Ricks Tanks fuel tank, fit to the factory fuel door opening, and have a support mounting mechanism up top?

Re: Aftermarket Fuel Tank

You could probably use a stock 4th gen neck which consists of a flexible hose section.

Re: Aftermarket Fuel Tank

Looks like I am going to have to fabricate a mount to hold the upper neck up and stable while filling anyway. Limited access but even the Ricks tanks website states to use your stock filler neck. The problem is that stock filler neck on an 85 was soldered into the tank so not coming out without some risk.

Ill have to look at the 4th gen and see if the angles are right.
